Cheese waffles
Ah, good intentions. Do they ever really work out exactly as originally envisioned? Let’s say you have a family vacation coming up. In view of that, you do your best to get organized and prepared. Aside from trying to predict what essentials might be needed for 3 children ranging in ages from 3 years to 3 months in a totally different climate, you also obviously try to get everything else in order. Like align a couple of recipes for your blog. Get everything photographed and almost ready to be published so updates are semi regular. Then you dream up a scenario of nearly utopian proportions that while the children are all napping you can work on the posts. As if you have never been on a family vacation with your children before. As if you don’t know that they will be in a wanderlust-induced high before you even enter the airport to depart. And there will be essentially no naps throughout the entire trip, certainly not any simultaneous ones. Leaving you happy and fulfilled but also extremely stripped of any illusion of free time. Lucky then that these cheese waffles take almost no time to make.
Like some of my favourite recipes, this one requires only a handful of good ingredients that can be thrown together very quickly. If you are not making your own quark, look for one that is not too sour. This recipe is close to syrniki in waffle form. They also freeze great and can be reheated in a toaster on busier than usual mornings.
Cheese waffles ingredients:
- 250g quark
- 1 sachet vanilla sugar (or 1tbsp sugar and 1tsp vanilla extract)
- pinch of salt
- 2 eggs
- 3tbsp oat flour
- 1tsp baking powder
Directions:
- First combine 250g quark, 1 sachet of vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Stir with a fork breaking up large lumps in the cheese.
- Then add 2 eggs to the cheese mixture and whisk until combined.
- Finally add 3tbsp oat flour and 1tsp baking powder to the batter and stir until just combined.
- Spoon the cheese batter into preheated waffle iron (or stove-top waffle pan, or any other waffle making devices) and cook until golden.
Serve right away drizzled with syrup or honey or topped with your favourite jam.
