Why We Love Waffle Maker Omelets

I don’t remember where I saw waffle omelets, or how they got into my brain, but I’m sure glad they did! This recipe has become a go-to for the school year because they’re so easy to make and they’re full of protein, veggies, and tons of flavor.

My kids love them for their tastiness and portability, but I love them because of their ease! All I have to do is whip together some eggs and whatever veggies and/or protein we have in the fridge that day. Then I pour them over the Belgian waffle maker and they’re done within a couple of minutes!

If you’re not in a hurry, you can dress these omelet’s up with various toppings like tomatoes, avocado, your favorite sauce, or even more cheese! Whether you’re running behind and need something nourishing on the go, or you’re ready to sit down for a breakfast to luxuriate over, these waffle omelets are perfect for you!

How to Make an Omelet in a Waffle Maker

Step 1: Whisk

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together all of your ingredients until they’re combined.

Step 2: Add to Waffle Iron

Grease your waffle iron and then pour some of your egg mixture in enough to cover the entire surface.

Do not overfill or eggs will come out the sides.

You will hear whistling as the eggs cook, but I promise everything will be alright! Once the noise starts to fade, the omelet is done.

Step 3: Toppings

Serve your waffle-shaped omelet with the toppings of your choice! Enjoy!

FAQs

What can I serve with my waffle omelet?

If you’re serving a big ‘ol breakfast and you want to serve a side dish with your omelets, you have so many different options! A simple dish is a bowl of fruit or fruit salad, but you can get even fancier with some sausage hashbrowns or potato scallion pancakes. I also love going back to basics and having some bacon alongside my eggs!

Can I use a mini waffle maker to make omelets?

Of course, they’ll just be smaller! Again, make sure not to overfill them, but I think making this recipe in a mini waffle maker would be fun. They’d be even more portable, like little egg bites!

How do I make my eggs taste super fluffy?

The key is to whip a ton of air into them. In Step 1 of this recipe just make sure you whip the egg mixture really well, and then maybe whip it a little more before each time you go to pour the mixture into the waffle maker.
