Chrissy Teigen’s Crispy Parmesan Waffles are going to be your new favorite breakfast-for-dinner recipe and here why: They’re more than 50 percent cheese by volume but they cook up light as a soufflé and crispy like Parmesan frico.

Tomorrow is International Waffle Day, which means it’s pretty much mandatory that you kick off your Saturday with a batch of waffles. But don’t wait to pull out your flour and milk until tomorrow morning — start the batter tonight and let it rest for truly exquisite results. Mixing some of the ingredients tonight — water, honey, yeast, flour, butter, salt, and milk — is like a little gift to your future self.

I remember the day I opened my KitchenAid mixer: The box was the biggest thing under the Christmas tree that year, and (for once) I had no guesses as to what was inside. You see, I had come to terms with the fact that I probably wouldn’t get the kitchen essential until I got married — to a person I didn’t even know existed yet.

Last year we hosted family at our house on Christmas Day — all with a brand new baby. After a few moments of minor stress and lots of pacing, I’ve decided that the only way to have an easy, effortless day that I can truly enjoy is to do much of the food preparation in advance. So I started playing around with interesting, festive waffle recipes and landed on this incredibly tasty, fragrant eggnog waffle dressed up for the occasion with spiced whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon.

I’m a huge supporter of using store-bought ingredients and making them special. As if using two waffles as your breakfast sandwich bread wasn’t awesome enough, this super-impressive spicy maple butter will knock this meal out of the park. Whipping up a special butter right after you’ve crawled out of bed may seem to you like climbing Mount Everest with one leg, but you can make it ahead, and I promise you it is so worth it.

Want crispy falafel without the hassle of deep-frying? All you need is a waffle iron. Yes, that trusty appliance you typically reserve for breakfast can also be used to make dinner! The falafel waffle — almost as fun to say as it is to eat. The key to these falafel waffles is using dried chickpeas. After the soaking the chickpeas in water for 24 hours, you blend them with garlic, fresh herbs, spices, chickpea flour, and lemon juice.

Every now and then you come across a recipe that is just so good, you want to eat it for every meal. Luckily these savory waffles — with buttered basil mushrooms, spinach, and fried eggs — are totally appropriate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. With a batter made of chickpea flour, buckwheat flour, and freshly grated Parmesan, these gluten-free waffles are cheesy and hearty.

Let’s get this straight: Waffles are amazing, and banana bread is also the best. So, why wouldn’t you combine these things to create the best breakfast imaginable? There’s really no reason not to make this happen. Just remember to top your creation with fresh berries and toasted coconut. The recipe requires that you make the banana bread first before adding it to the waffle iron.

After all the candy you will probably eat tonight, you deserve something with lots of vegetables and lean protein for brunch the next day, right? Think again. Meet the brunch item that has been sorely lacking in your life: apple cider waffles drizzled with all the salted caramel you could ever want. This recipe is basically an adaptation of your favorite apple cider doughnut, except it’s put on a waffle iron. Also there is salted caramel, so that makes everything that much better. Always.

Whenever I go home to Minnesota to visit my family, there’s one thing that I always request: Grandma’s overnight yeast waffles. To me, these are the quintessential waffles and all others are held to their standard. They’re crispy on the outside and tender in the middles, but they’re also a touch chewy from the overnight rise with yeast.

Occasionally I run across something online that really floors me. That makes me take a step back and wonder, why didn’t I think of that? When I stumbled upon the uber-crispy hashbrown waffle, I knew it would be in my very near future.Writer Tara Austen Weaver of Tea and Cookies had a pretty brilliant breakfast idea recently: hashbrown waffles.

The boyfriend adores waffles. They come second only to pancakes in his favorite food department. So when I bought a waffle iron a couple of years ago, it was a sure sign that I was in the relationship to win it. But purchasing the device was the easy part. It was finding the perfect recipe to accompany it that was so hard.So the search began. I pored over cookbooks, food blogs, and magazines, all in search of a great waffle. And you know what? I found it.

Can you love a waffle so much that it becomes essentially impossible to do justice to its magnificence? The first time I tried Gaufres de Liege I was in Amsterdam, where the waffles must have migrated and settled. The vendor was located on the museumplein near the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam and the Van Gogh museum. Served with a modest dusting of powdered sugar, the waffles were golden and crispy on the surface, with a chewy yet tender crumb within.

Over the holidays, we had some overnight yeasted waffles at a family brunch and haven’t been able to stop thinking about them since. So light. So fluffy. Just a bit crunchy and slightly sweet-tasting. Did we mention fluffy?We’re not huge fans of traditional waffles, which seem overly sugary to us and get soggy if we let them sit under syrup and fruit for more than a few minutes. The overnight waffles we had were a different breed of breakfast food entirely.
