Classic and Creative Waffle Recipes

Break out the waffle iron! These crave-worthy recipes are perfect for every occasion — and any meal of the day.

The secret to these super-crispy waffles is using a little vegetable shortening. Make a large batch on the weekend, then grab and reheat on a rushed morning.

Cracking eggs onto a well-greased waffle iron will give you perfectly cooked, intact sunny-side up eggs, complete with crispy, lacy edges. Break the yolks for a gooey topping to these Gruyere-and-ham-laden waffles.
