Crispy waffles are one of those flavors that many people associate with summer seaside trips. The aroma of freshly baked waffles wafting through the air promises a tasty snack. However, if you want to enjoy this flavor every day in the comfort of your home, I have the perfect recipe for you. Just a few simple ingredients are needed, with the key addition being cottage cheese, which gives the waffles a unique texture and boosts their nutritional value.

Cottage cheese waffles – perfect for sweet and savory dishes

Cottage cheese waffles are a fantastic option for breakfast, dessert, or even as a substitute for traditional bread. Their delicate, creamy taste pairs excellently with both fruits and whipped cream and savory toppings like smoked salmon or a fried egg. Thanks to their high protein content, these waffles are filling and nutritious while remaining light and crispy.

The secret to their perfect consistency lies in properly preparing the batter—it's important to separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat the whites into stiff peaks. This step makes the waffles fluffy and light as a cloud. Another crucial element is a well-heated waffle iron—you will only achieve a crispy crust and soft interior.
