Directions
Special equipment:
a Dash Mini Waffle Maker
Place the broccoli florets in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped (pieces should be about the size of rice grains). Place the broccoli in a medium bowl and add the flour, milk, Cheddar, salt and black pepper. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. Let the batter rest while you preheat a Dash mini waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Spray the plates of the waffle maker with cooking spray. Pour a scant 1/4 cup of batter into the waffle maker, cover and cook until the waffle is browned and set, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately, or transfer to a cooling rack set over a tray. Repeat with the remaining batter.
You can serve the waffles warm or room temperature. They can also be prepared ahead and refrigerated for up to 4 days or kept in an airtight container. You can also freeze leftovers for up to 4 months. Reheat waffles in a 300-degree-F oven until heated through, 4 to 6 minutes for refrigerated, 7 to 10 minutes for frozen.
Cook’s Note
When measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off excess. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.)
