Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup finely grated carrot
- 1/2 to 1 cup grated cheese (cheddar or mozzarella works well)
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Grate the carrot finely using a box grater or food processor. Grate your cheese and adjust the amount depending on how cheesy you want your waffles (between 1/2 cup and 1 cup). Crack the eggs into a bowl.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrot, grated cheese, and eggs. Stir everything together until well combined, creating a thick batter.
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions and lightly grease it if needed to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Waffles: Spoon the mixture onto the waffle iron, spreading it out evenly. Be careful not to overfill as the batter may spill over the sides. Close the waffle maker and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden and crisp.
- Serve: Let the waffles cool for a few minutes before serving. Cut them into baby-friendly pieces for Baby-Led Weaning or serve them whole for toddlers and adults.
