Savory Zucchini Waffles Recipe (Ready in 10 minutes!)
Not everyone has a sweet tooth, especially when it comes to breakfast. If you’re like me, you might find that traditional sweet waffles don’t always hit the spot. That’s why I’ve fallen in love with a savory breakfast alternative: zucchini waffles. These waffles are not only delicious and easy to make, but they’re also quick to prepare.
Whether you’re in a rush in the morning or looking for a leisurely breakfast on the weekend, zucchini waffles are perfect. They are incredibly versatile, allowing you to top them with anything from cream cheese (my personal favorite!) to a more hearty topping of your choice. Whatever your preference, zucchini waffles could become your new go-to breakfast.
