Savory Belgian Waffle with Avocado, Eggs, Microgreens & Tomatoes
Sometimes I like to switch things up for breakfast or brunch, and that’s when savory Belgian waffles with avocado, eggs, and other customizable toppings come to the rescue. These waffles are crisp, fluffy, and versatile—they’re perfect for adding whatever you love: creamy avocado, perfectly cooked eggs, fresh microgreens, juicy tomatoes, or even smoked salmon for extra protein.I especially love making them for weekend brunches, quick lunches, or even packing them in picnic bags—they hold their toppings well and taste just as good at room temperature. Each waffle is a little blank canvas for flavors, textures, and colors, making breakfast or brunch feel special every time.
