The question of what can be cooked in a waffle iron, except for waffles, occupies all owners of this convenient and inexpensive kitchen appliance. There are 2 options on sale - for making thin crispy rolls or more lush Belgian squares. There are also combined gadgets with removable panels, they significantly expand the capabilities of the cook.

However, owners of less advanced electric waffle irons should not be upset - all these delicacies can be cooked without problems in the most ordinary appliance with one type of panels. The only caveat is that all hot snacks will have a characteristic "checkered" pattern. But such an unusual design will only add charm to them and will not let them get lost on the festive table.
Hot meat appetizer
The meat in the waffle iron turns out to be juicy, with an appetizing crispy crust. Beef steaks are lightly beaten, rubbed with freshly ground pepper and sea moth. The waffle iron plates are lightly greased with odorless vegetable oil. The meat is placed on the bottom plate and pressed down on the top. It is important to ensure that the steaks do not burn or remain soggy. They are served hot, garnished with fresh rosemary sprigs.
Hot dogs: original and tasty
The children's favorite delicacy is hot sausages baked in a bun. The recipe can be modified by replacing the bread with batter and making a hot dog in an electric waffle iron.
In a separate container, mix kefir, an egg, sifted flour, a pinch of salt. The dough should resemble sour cream. The sausages are dipped in the mixture one by one and put on the bottom plate of the electric waffle iron. A little more dough is poured on top of each piece. The top plate is lowered and pressed slightly. When the dough is completely baked, the hot dogs are laid out on a warmed plate and served with ketchup or other sauce.
Quesadilla
A very simple recipe that uses ready-made layers of thin pita bread. One plate is placed on the bottom surface of the waffle iron, finely chopped tomatoes and grated cheese are placed on top. Everything is closed with a second layer and pressed down with a lid. When the lavash is lightly browned and the cheese is melted, the quesadilla is removed, cut into 4 pieces and served hot. The appetizer is accompanied by ready-made or homemade salsa sauce and fresh cold sour cream.
The list of tasty and healthy recipes for a waffle iron does not end there. As a hot snack, you can make an herbal omelet, which is baked and then rolled, cut into pieces and strung on toothpicks. Closed mini-pizzas with vegetables, chopped chicken fillets, cheese and other ingredients are also tasty. Crispy salty waffles are easy to make. They are rolled into tubes and filled with various fillings: cheese mixed with garlic and mayonnaise, minced meat, shrimp and boiled egg paste. These straws are served warm or cold and are perfect for a light dinner or Sunday breakfast.
