Turn your leftover holiday stuffing into crispy, savory waffles for a fun and simple brunch the next day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups leftover stuffing (any variety)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk (any kind)
  • Cooking spray or butter for the waffle iron

Instructions

  1. Place the leftover stuffing in a large bowl. If the stuffing seems very dry, add a splash more milk.
  2. Add the egg and milk to the stuffing. Mix gently with a fork until the ingredients are just combined. Do not overmix; you want the stuffing to hold its shape but remain slightly loose.
  3. Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat. Spray the plates well with cooking spray or brush with melted butter.
  4. Spoon about 1 to 1.5 cups of the stuffing mixture onto the center of the hot waffle iron. Gently press the top plate down to flatten the stuffing into a waffle shape.
  5. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the waffle is deeply golden brown and crisp on the outside. The exact time depends on your iron.
  6. Carefully remove the stuffing waffle and place it on a wire rack or plate. Repeat with the remaining stuffing mixture.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as leftover gravy or a fried egg.

Notes

  • If you are planning ahead for leftovers, consider making a simple meal planning adjustment by setting aside extra stuffing before serving dinner.
  • For extra crispness, you can lightly brush the outside of the formed waffle with melted butter before placing it in the iron.
  • These waffles reheat well in a toaster oven for a quick snack later.
