Why I Love This Recipe
Sometimes I like to switch things up for breakfast or brunch. Instead of the usual pancakes or toast, I make savory Belgian waffles with avocado, eggs, and other customizable toppings—crispy, fluffy, and the perfect base for all sorts of delicious additions.
I especially love making them for weekend brunches, quick lunches, or even packing them in picnic bags—they hold their toppings beautifully and taste just as good at room temperature. Each waffle becomes a little blank canvas for flavors, textures, and colors, making breakfast or brunch feel extra special every time.
Ingredients for Savory Belgian Waffle
Waffle Batter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 eggs (separated)
- 1¾ cups milk
- ¼ cup melted butter or olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder or dried herbs (optional, for flavor)
Toppings
- 1–2 ripe avocados, sliced or mashed
- 2–4 cooked eggs
- Handful of fresh microgreens
- Cherry tomatoes, halved or sliced
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: drizzle of olive oil or balsamic glaze
- Optional: smoked salmon or cooked salmon for extra protein
How to Make This Recipe Step-by -Step
Step 1 – Prepare the Waffle Batter
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in one bowl. Whisk the egg yolks, milk, melted butter, and optional garlic or herbs in another bowl. Combine wet and dry ingredients, then gently fold in the whipped egg whites for a light, airy waffle that holds toppings well.
Step 2 – Cook the Waffles
Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it. Pour in the batter and cook until golden brown and crisp. The smell of waffles cooking is always a highlight—I can’t resist sneaking a taste before assembling!
Step 3 – Assemble the Waffle
Place the cooked waffle on a plate.
Spread mashed avocado or layer sliced avocado on top.
Add eggs (cooked, fried, poached, or scrambled) and, if you like, add smoked salmon or cooked salmon for extra protein.
Scatter cherry tomatoes and microgreens over the top.
Season with salt, pepper, and drizzle olive oil or balsamic glaze.

Can Babies Under 1 Eat This Savory Belgian Waffle?
❌ Not recommended. Eggs are fine if fully cooked, but avoid added salt or seasoning. Avocado can be mashed and served plain, but whole waffle pieces may be a choking hazard.
Important: Babies under 1 should also avoid smoked salmon or heavily seasoned toppings. For more guidance, check out What to Avoid for Babies Under 1.
