Are you team sweet or team savory? Im definitely team savory! But the great thing about waffles is that you don’t have to choose, because they’re great to eat both sweet and savory! Yes, that also goes for this one (yes, even though it has halloumi in it), at least if feel a bit adventurous. But let stick to the savory version in this post. These sweet potato and halloumi waffles are not only more nutritious than regular waffles, they also have lovely yet subtile flavor combination of sweet and savory. Yes, the combination of sweet potatoes and salty and savory halloumi makes a wonderful combination and makes these waffles both moist and tender but at the same time crispy and crunchy. Together with the spinach, creamy avocado and delicate yet rich poached eggs they are great to serve for a tasty, delicious and nutritious brunch, lunch or starter. These waffles are vegetarian and gluten free.
A few tips:
- Make sure to fork (make small holes) in the sweet potato before baking it in the oven. That will prevent it from exploding.
- Bake the sweet potato/potatoes until soft all the way through.
- The sweet potatoes can also be steamed or cooked
- I would recommend you to bake the sweet potatoes in advance, the you only have to combine all the ingredients when it’s time to make the waffles.
- Make sure to grease both the lower and upper part of the waffle iron well before adding the batter.
- Bake the waffles on medium high heat until golden brown. You want them to get a nice and golden color, yet be tender on the inside.
- Place the cooked waffle/waffles in the oven and keep them warm on low heat.
- You can easily double this recipe if you want to make more waffles on one occasion.
- Do not cook the eggs for too long to avoid ending up with over cooked yolks.
