Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat a waffle maker to medium-high heat (375°F) and lightly grease the surface with butter.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk 2 large eggs until well combined. Add 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella, 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh spinach, 2 tbsp crumbled feta, 1 tbsp almond flour, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until fully incorporated and the mixture holds together.
  3. Step 3: Pour the mixture into the preheated waffle maker, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom. Close the lid and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and edges are crisp.
  4. Step 4: Carefully remove the waffle with a spatula and let it cool for 1 minute before serving.
