- 4 large eggs, plus more if serving waffles with fried eggs on top
- 2 cups leftover stuffing
- Parsley, finely chopped, for garnish
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Beat the eggs. Place 4 eggs in a large mixing bowl, then whisk.
Mix in the stuffing. Place 2 cups leftover stuffing in a bowl or on a plate, then reheat slightly, about 30-60 seconds in a microwave. This step is optional, but makes it easier to stir the stuffing. Add stuffing to the eggs, this mix well until thoroughly combined.
Cook the waffles. Heat a waffle iron until hot. Spray with nonstick cooking spray, then pour ½ cup batter into each waffle mold (or work in batches if you have a single or double waffle maker). Cook for about 4 minutes, until golden brown and puffy.
Optional: Fry eggs: While waffles are cooking (or cooling), fry up the eggs. Heat a nonstick pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Coat with nonstick cooking spray or 1 Tbsp olive oil, then crack eggs and season each with a little Kosher salt and black pepper. Cook to desired doneness.
Serve immediately. Top waffles with a fried egg, then serve immediately with a sprinkle of chopped parsley. Other optional toppings: butter, syrup, leftover turkey, turkey gravy, crispy fried onions or shallots.
- Nutrition facts do not include fried eggs.
- While not necessary, reheating the leftover stuffing makes it easier to mix with the eggs.
- To freeze: Cook waffles, then allow to cool to room temperature. Freeze for up to 3 months, then reheat in a toaster over until warm throughout when ready to eat.
