For an omelet in a waffle iron, you need to take 2 chicken eggs, 2 tablespoons of milk, 1 tablespoon of flour, half a teaspoon of baking powder, as well as salt, pepper and other spices to taste.

Each of the plates of the electric waffle iron must be greased with a small amount of vegetable oil, then pour a quarter of the dough into each plate and close for two minutes. You should get four beautiful and mouth-watering waffle omelets. Serve with fresh vegetables, herbs and tomato sauce.
Draniki
Even experienced housewives do not always manage to cook delicious vegetable potato pancakes in a frying pan, since the vegetable dough is distinguished by its liquid and uneven consistency. But in the kitchen appliance we are considering, the vegetable pancakes will turn out to be evenly fried on all sides and crispy. Potato pancakes are prepared from many types of vegetables, but take, for example, potato and squash.
They will need 2 medium-sized potatoes, 1 zucchini, 1 small onion, 100 grams of flour, salt and spices to taste. We rub the vegetables on a coarse grater, squeeze the juice very carefully from the grated zucchini, cut the onion into small cubes. If desired, it can be fried in a small amount of vegetable oil until transparent, so it will acquire a pleasant sweetish taste. Mix all the vegetables, add flour and spices and knead the dough until the flour is completely dissolved. Pour the required portion of dough into a heated waffle iron slightly greased with vegetable oil, close and bake for about five to six minutes until crisp. Delicious vegetable pancakes are ready!

Hot sandwiches
Hot sandwiches are a versatile snack, picnic or travel meal. Usually closed hot sandwiches are prepared in a sandwich maker, but it can be easily replaced with a regular waffle iron.
For one sandwich, you need to take a special square sandwich bread, 2 slices of cheese (preferably processed, in square plates) and 1 thin slice of ham, carb, sausage or meat. If desired, the crusts of the bread can be removed, so the sandwiches will become thinner and tastier, and if necessary, a slice of bread can be cut into the shapes of the waffle iron plates. Preparing sandwiches is very simple: put cheese on the bread, put ham on top, cheese again and cover with a second slice of bread. Put the sandwiches on the dry surface of the plates, close them more tightly and cook for a couple of minutes. Delicious hot sandwiches are ready!
So there are a lot of ways to use an electric waffle iron, and you can come up with many recipes for it yourself. The main thing is to use products that will not stick or ruin the non-stick surface.
