Protein Waffle Recipe for StressLess Sandwiches
These waffles make a great alternative to bread when I’m really craving a sandwich! They are easy to make-ahead and freeze for a quick any-time breakfast or lunch.
Easy to make
It is so easy to make up several batches of these waffles in one day. It’s a bit time-consuming depending on how fast your waffle iron is. I use a mini iron, so I make the waffles one at a time.
Easy to store
Once the waffles are cool, though, I can put them in an airtight container in the freezer and I have waffles any time I want. They freeze beautifully, and thaw quickly.
Easy to reheat
If I want a warm waffle or two, perhaps for breakfast, then I pop them in the microwave or air fryer and heat them up quickly. Added to a side of bacon, sausage, or SPAM and drizzled in honey or maple syrup, they make a delicious breakfast offering.
Easy sandwiches
I try to avoid bread but I really like sandwiches. I often thaw two waffles and use them as bread for a sandwich. We’ve made delicious breakfast sandwiches on many camping trips, and even at home. For lunches, I really like these waffles to hold a generous serving of chicken salad. Tony likes them for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Yes, they can be a bit sweet, depending on the protein you use, but that’s not a problem if you have the right sandwich ingredients!
