Savory Cheesy Herb Waffle Topped with Burrata, Tomato and Prosciutto
Description
The Savory Cheesy Herb Waffle Topped with Burrata, Tomato and Prosciutto features a waffle batter enriched with shredded cheddar and chives, lending a cheesy and herbal note to the crispy waffles. The batter includes typical components like flour, baking powder, sugar, eggs, milk, and melted butter, which develop a golden crust when cooked in a waffle iron.
After cooking, each waffle is topped with creamy burrata cheese that contrasts with the crispy texture of the waffle. Halved cherry tomatoes add juiciness and freshness, while thin slices of prosciutto provide a savory, cured meat flavor. Fresh oregano leaves contribute an aromatic finish, and seasoning with sea salt flakes and cracked black pepper enhances the overall taste.
This dish works well as a brunch item or light meal. The richness of the cheese and prosciutto balances well with the fresh tomatoes and herbs, making it appealing for those who enjoy combining savory baked goods with fresh toppings. The waffles can be made in advance and topped as needed for serving convenience.
The recipe yields around 12 waffles, making it suitable for serving a small group. The use of superfine sugar and chives within the batter provides subtle sweetness and herbal notes that complement the toppings. Cooking time per waffle is about 4 to 5 minutes, which should be adjusted to your waffle maker.
