GF Savoury Zucchini Fetta and Dill Waffles
What do you get when you cross a zucchini fritter with a waffle Iron, well waffles of course! Okay, truth be told a waffle might be a bit of a stretch, but a waffle iron presented a easier to make, more consistently cooked solution to a fritter.... plus they look cool. Rather than standing around flipping fritters, tentatively tweaking the temperature to get them golden AND cooked through, you let a waffle iron do the work!
This recipe made 5 delicious gluten free and vegetarian waffles. We sampled one straight out of the waffle iron and had the remained for dinner with homemade sauerkraut, a salad vaguely fashioned on a Greek salad and some garlicky yoghurt, and this was a very filling meal for 2. I haven't tried it yet, but these zucchini fetta and dill waffles would make a great breakfast with hot smoked salmon, poached eggs and avocado. Or, as a vegetarian option, avocado, quark/ricotta/haloumi, and something acidic such as sauerkraut or lemon.
You can make these ahead of time and warm up on a rack in the oven when ready to serve.
Heat waffle iron.
Combine zucchini, fetta, dill, seasonings, flour, zest and baking powder in a medium bowl. Add the eggs and mix until well combined.
Lightly grease waffle iron. Add a ladle of mixture (or however much your waffle iron takes), spread with the back of the ladle and lightly sprinkle with grated parmesan. Cook according to the manufacturer's directions, or until desired colour. Once done, place on a oven proof rack in a low oven to keep warm.
Repeat with remaining batter.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings.
