Stuffing waffles – a simple idea for thanksgiving leftovers

In my opinion, thanksgiving just isn’t complete without stuffing. I know there are so many different variations, but I love a simple French bread stuffing. It’s so basic (said in my best Anna Delvey voice), yet it has all of the flavors of thanksgiving in every bite. Stuffing is also great for leftovers too. Just reheat and pour some gravy right on. Sometimes though, I like to do something “not basic”, and that’s making stuffing waffles. If you have a waffle iron these are simpler than making your regular breakfast waffles.

All you need is some leftover stuffing. You take a cold scoopful and add right onto a nicely greased waffle iron. You can use some nonstick cooking spray or instead of the spray you can brush on some olive oil to grease the iron instead.

Cooked stuffing waffles.  Golden brown and crispy.

Once golden brown you take them off and repeat as many times as you like. These waffles are great as is or you can even get super creative, and the ideas are endless. Maybe a waffles benedict with a nice fried or poached egg on top with some gravy. Or turkey sandwiches on these stuffing waffles are definitely not disappointing. What’s also great is that you can make a whole bunch and freeze the extras. When you’re ready to use you can pop into the oven or air fryer to toast back up.

Ingredients:

Leftover stuffing

nonstick spray or oil for brushing

waffle iron

Directions: Heat iron, once heated add a heaping spoonful of stuffing. Close iron and follow same instructions for waffles. Once golden, remove from iron and eat as is with gravy or make a delicious sandwich. Just one of many amazing thanksgiving leftovers that are definitely not boring.
