Savory Waffles ASPARAGUS, GRUYERE AND ONION
INGREDIENTS:
• 1 bunch green onions, finely chopped • 16 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into ¼-inch pieces • 9 large eggs, room temperature • 2 cups all-purpose flour • 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper • 1½ cups 2% milk • 6 tablespoons butter, melted • 1 cup Gruyere cheese, shredded • 1 fully cooked boneless ham steak (12 ounces), cubed • salt and pepper (to taste)
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven 350°F. Arrange onions and asparagus in a single layer on greased baking pan; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until asparagus turns bright green (crunchy) or lightly browned (softer), approximately 6 -12 minutes. Cool slightly; reserve ¼ cup vegetable mixture for topping. 2. Preheat greased waffle iron. Separate 3 eggs. Whisk flour, baking powder, cayenne pepper and remaining salt. Add milk, 3 egg yolks and melted butter; mix gently but thoroughly. Stir in remaining onion and asparagus mixture and ¾ cup shredded cheese. 3. In another bowl, beat 3 egg whites on high until soft peaks form. Fold into waffle batter. Bake waffles according to manufacturer’s directions until golden brown. 4. Meanwhile, in a large skillet coated with cooking spray, cook ham until heated through; keep warm. In same skillet, fry remaining eggs until yolks are set. To serve, top waffle with ham and 1 egg. Sprinkle with reserved onion and asparagus, and remaining ¼ cup cheese.
