Savory Zucchini Waffles

Savory Zucchini Waffles

This Savory Zucchini Waffles recipe is an easy and healthy addition to breakfast, brunch, or side dish for dinner. They are also a great way to use summer zucchini from your garden.

One great way to start eating healthier is to focus on eating more vegetables and fruits every day. Vegetables are packed with nutrients, fiber, vitamins, and so many more health benefits to keep us healthy. Zucchini is one of my favorite vegetables and making these zucchini waffles are a great way to get some wonderful vegetables.

I grow zucchini and yellow squash in my garden every summer, and I am always looking for new recipes to use them up. When it comes to this waffle recipe you can use all yellow squash, all zucchini or a combination of the two.

Zucchini preparation tips (Don’t ignore this step)

  • The zucchini should be finely shredded. This will make it easier to keep the waffles together.
  • The liquid of the zucchini needs to be squeezed out as much as possible: place zucchini in a bowl. Sprinkle grated zucchini with salt and let stand for about 10 minutes, then squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Discard drained liquid.

How to make this Recipe:

  1. Prepare zucchini mixture

    Place zucchini in a bowl. Sprinkle grated zucchini with 1/2 teaspoon salt and let stand for about 10 minutes, then squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Discard drained liquid. Combine all the ingredients and remaining salt in a bowl.

  2. Cook

    Heat the waffle iron (I used a mini waffle maker), when hot spray with avocado oil and add 1/4 cup of the zucchini mixture and spread around. Close the iron and cook until the light shuts off and the edges are golden brown. Set aside and keep warm while repeating with the remaining batter and avocado oil spray.

To make your zucchini waffles crispier, ensure you remove as much moisture as possible from the zucchini and cook the waffles a bit longer in the waffle iron.

Can I freeze zucchini waffles?

Burrata Caprese

Burrata caprese

This Burrata Caprese is a simple, yet elegant summer salad, combines perfectly ripe tomatoes with fresh, aromatic basil and creamy, unctuous burrata cheese.

Gather all Ingredients

To get started, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • Tomatoes are a good source of several vitamins and minerals. The Health Benefits of Tomatoes.
  • Fresh burrata cheese is a delicious Italian style cheese, traditionally made into small pouches. Each pouch encases a thick center of creamy cheese that oozes out when you slice into it.

  • Salt, ground black pepper, balsamic glaze, olive oil, and fresh basil leaves.

  1. Prepare tomatoes

    Thinly slice tomatoes and arrange them on a serving platter.

  2. Add basil

    Top with fresh basil.

  3. Add burrata cheese

    Remove burrata from brine and pat dry with a paper towel. Place it in the center of your tomato spread. Cut cheese down the middle to expose creamy center.

  4. Season and drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze

    Sprinkle your salad with salt and black pepper. Add a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic glaze. Serve and enjoy!

Burrata caprese: Frequently Asked Questions

How is Burrata Caprese different from traditional Caprese salad?

The primary difference is the cheese. Traditional Caprese uses fresh mozzarella, while Burrata Caprese uses burrata, providing a creamier and more luxurious texture.

Can you make Burrata Caprese in advance?

It’s best to prepare Burrata Caprese just before serving to maintain the freshness of the ingredients, especially the burrata, which should be served at room temperature for optimal flavor and texture.

Can I add other ingredients to Burrata Caprese?

While the classic recipe is simple, you can enhance it with ingredients like arugula, roasted red peppers, prosciutto, or fruits like peaches for a unique twist.

What is the best way to store leftover Burrata Caprese?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. However, the burrata will lose some of its creaminess, and the tomatoes may become soggy.
