The Wafflewich

Breakfast really is the best meal of the day.

Egg. Maple. Cheese. Waffles. You could eat them separately. It would be a delicious, traditional weekend breakfast.

Or, you could combine them into a fun, sweet, and cheesy breakfast sandwich. Did I mention that it’s super fun? 

It’s super quick too. Faster than you can drive through McDonald’s for a McGriddle, you can have a real food, healthy version – all of the delicious flavour, none of the trans fats!

Breakfast Wafflewich

adapted from Danica’s Daily and Meals and Moves

makes 1 breakfast sandwich – approximately  350 calories and 18g of protein.

Ingredients

• 2 frozen waffles (I used Nature’s Path Maple Cinnamon)
• 1 egg + 1 egg white (preferably certified organic)
• 2 tbsp shredded low fat cheddar cheese
• 1 tsp canola oil
• 1 tsp maple syrup

Directions

1. Heat canola oil in a small frying pan.
2. Whisk egg + egg white together. Add to frying pan. Let egg cook for about 2 minutes, until almost set.
3. Meanwhile, toast waffles.
4. Using a spatula, flip egg over. Let cook another minute.
5. Top 1 waffle with egg, cheese and maple syrup. Top with other waffle.

Resist the urge to use a fork and knife – eat like a sandwich!
