Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces frozen waffles
- 4 pieces eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoons finely chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your toaster or waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Toast the frozen waffles until golden and crispy. Set aside and keep warm.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, gently stirring with a spatula, until the eggs are softly scrambled. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a separate small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and toast, stirring frequently, until they turn golden brown and resemble 'sand.' Remove from heat and set aside.
To assemble, place two toasted waffles on each plate. Top each waffle with a generous scoop of scrambled eggs.
Sprinkle the toasted breadcrumbs on top of the eggs to create the 'sandy' effect.
Drizzle with maple syrup for a touch of sweetness and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your playful, textured breakfast!
