Cheesy Thyme Waffles

Definitely not the prettiest dish of the bunch, but I just had to post this one. For me, while looks are quite important most of the time, taste reigns supreme at the end of the day. This dish hits the nail on the head when it comes to taste. Time to get our cheese on…waffle style!

The distinct flavor of cauliflower is knocked down into a subtle flavor you can easily handle with the crisp, almost burnt cheese on the outside and the rich, creamy flavors on the inside. The thyme, garlic, and onion come together to form an absolutely delicious combination that runs through each and every bite you take out of this glorious food.

The Preparation

∎ ½ large head cauliflower, riced

∎ 1 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese

∎ 1 cup packed collard greens

∎ 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese

∎ 2 large eggs

∎ 2 stalks green onion

∎ 1 tablespoon sesame seed

∎ 1 tablespoon olive oil

∎ 2 teaspoons fresh chopped thyme

∎ 1 teaspoon garlic powder

∎ ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

∎ ½ teaspoon salt

The Execution

1. Prep your cauliflower, spring onion, and thyme by cutting the cauliflower into florets, slicing the spring onion into small slices, and ripping the thyme off of the stems.

2. In a food processor, rice the cauliflower by pulsing it until a crumbly texture is formed.

3. Add the spring onion, thyme, and collard greens to the mixture and continue pulsing until everything is well combined.

4. Scoop the mixture out into a large mixing bowl.

5. Add the 1 Cup Mozzerella Cheese, 1/3 Cup Parmesan Cheese, 2 Large Eggs, 1 Tbsp. Sesame Seed, 1 Tbsp. Olive Oil, 1 tsp. Garlic Powder, 1/2 tsp. Black Pepper, and 1/2 tsp. Salt.

6. Mix everything together well until a loose batter is formed.

7. Heat your waffle iron until it’s ready to go, then spoon mixture onto waffle iron evenly.

8. Let the waffle cook as per manufacturers instructions.

9. Remove from waffle iron and serve hot!
