Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese
- 2 large Eggs
- ½ cup Milk or milk substitute
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1½ teaspoon Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- ⅛ teaspoon Ground Pepper
- ¼ cup Grated Parmesan
- 1½ cup Fresh Spinach finely chopped
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, and olive oil. Use an immersion blender to blend until mostly smooth. A few small curds are fine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, parmesan and smoke paprika until just combined.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold until just combined, still being lumpy. Fold in the spinach and let the batter rest 5 minutes before cooking. While the batter rests, preheat the waffle machine as per your machine's directions.
- Grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray. Spoon ½ cup batter into the waffle iron and cook until golden and lightly crisp on the outside. Transfer waffles to a rack while cooking the remaining batter.
