Vegan savoury breakfast waffles with vegan cheddar, vegan smoky ham and spring onion. The perfect recipe for breakfast, brunch or even brinner.
The weekend is the perfect time to test new recipe ideas. With plenty of time and the best of all, my family is home and can serve as guinea pigs for my recipes. My husband, thankfully, always gives me an honest opinion. And I will be having plenty of that for the next couple of weeks as he will be working from home because of the Coronavirus.
Let’s remember to be kind
I want to take the chance to address these strange times we are facing. We know this is going to be hard, we know that some people are going to be hurt by the Coronavirus, thankfully most people will only be affected minimally but for others, this is a dangerous virus. While this is incredibly sad it also reminds me that the world we live in isn’t that big and we have to take care of each other when times are hard.
It’s a strange feeling being so far away from my family. Some of my family members are vulnerable and the thought of something happening to them is unbearable. This is not only the case for me. It’s the reality for so many others. This is why I want to remind everyone to be kind. A hug might not work for now but kind words, encouragement and helpfulness is always appropriate. Now is the time to stick together and show how humanity works.
Savoury breakfast
I came up with this recipe the other day when I was daydreaming about the perfect weekend brunch. I love waffles and I love savoury breakfast, so creating these savoury waffles was the perfect solution!
These savoury breakfast waffles tick all my boxes for a perfect breakfast or brunch. As much as I am a sweet tooth, I rarely fancy a sweet breakfast and usually always end up having something savoury instead, such as a toast, porridge or tofu scramble.
Making savoury waffles is such a great way to make a quick and easy breakfast, you could even make them ahead of time, freeze them and then thaw them in the toaster for a quick and easy breakfast.
