Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 2 large Eggs
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Fresh spinach
- 0.75 cups Feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- as needed Waffle maker spray or melted butter
Instructions
Preheat your waffle maker to medium-high heat according to the manufacturer's instructions.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the milk and olive oil until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
Fold in the spinach, feta cheese, and chopped green onions until evenly distributed in the batter.
Lightly grease the waffle maker with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.
Scoop approximately 1/3 cup of batter (or the recommended amount for your waffle maker) onto the hot waffle iron and spread it out evenly.
Close the lid and cook the waffle for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Adjust cooking time as needed based on your waffle maker.
Carefully remove the cooked waffle and transfer it to a wire rack to keep it crisp. Repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve the waffles warm, optionally garnished with a dollop of Greek yogurt, extra crumbled feta, or a squeeze of lemon juice for added zest.
