Waffle Iron Omelets Recipe
This waffle iron omelet is a great make-ahead breakfast that is wonderful straight off the waffle maker, or out of the toaster after freezing!
Let me help you reinvent breakfast. If you enjoy protein in the mornings, then this clean eating waffle iron omelets recipe is an incredible option.
I’m afraid this is not my original idea, but I saw a picture in a magazine of some eggs cooking on a waffle iron and my creative wheels started turning. It never occurred to me that eggs could be cooked in a waffle iron.
Not only does this make a majorly delicious meal, but you can freeze these and warm them in the toaster like you can with regular waffles! These are great for those eating low carb (which I am at the moment), but I promise, they do not have a “low-carb” taste or texture. The flavor is incredible.
I can promise you one thing. These were so good, I will be creating many, many more renditions of these savory waffles. In fact, when I have enough of these recipes, they will have their own category in my breakfast section. Yes, they are that good. You’ll see!

Seriously, can I use a regular pan to cook this??? really? Do I use just one side of the waffle maker? Seriously????
Lucy – I’m not sure what you mean. A waffle iron cooks both side of a waffle at the same time. I mean, all you have to do is make a regular omelet using these ingredients. Scramble them in a pan and make the omelet like you would any omelet.
