Move over chicken and waffles, Leftover Stuffing Waffles are an easy and delicious way to re-do holiday leftovers. Who doesn’t love anything made into a waffle?
I love having holiday leftovers, but you can only do so many sandwiches, and just reheating them and trying to duplicate the holiday meal is boring. So every year, I go on a quest to find something a little different to do with the leftovers.
Making leftover stuffing waffles was a brilliant way to use up leftover stuffing. Making them into a waffle gives you all the best parts of stuffing – the crunchy outer crust, the fluffy, moist interior – but just more of it.
Cooking the stuffing in a waffle iron provides more surface area for crunchy bits. The little wells made by the waffle iron provide the perfect crevice for gravy or cranberry sauce.
You almost don’t need directions for the recipe, but just in case…
Move over chicken and waffles, Leftover Stuffing Waffles are an easy and delicious way to re-do holiday leftovers. Who doesn’t love anything made into a waffle?
4 cups of crumbled leftover stuffing
2 large eggs, room temperature
Chicken or turkey stock, as needed
Preheat the waffle iron.
When hot, spray the iron generously with cooking spray.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, stir together the stuffing and the eggs until well combined.
If the mixture is too thick, add ⅛ cup of stock as needed until the mixture is well moistened, but not loose or soupy.
Spoon half of the stuffing mixture onto the prepared waffle iron. Spread it in an even layer.
Close the lid and allow the waffle to bake until it is golden brown and the edges are crispy.
Transfer the waffle to a plate and repeat with the remaining stuffing mixture.
Serve the waffles as a base for leftover turkey, gravy, or cranberry sauce.
