Ingredients

Waffles

2 cups prepared stuffing about 1 box, cooked
1 large legg
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese optional, but highly recommended for extra flavor
Cooking spray or oil for the waffle iron

Toppings

Gravy
Cranberry sauce
Leftover turkey or a fried egg

Instructions

Preheat your Belgian waffle maker on medium-high heat. Spray generously with cooking spray.
Mix stuffing, egg, and cheese (if using) in a large bowl until well combined. The mixture should be moist but hold together when pressed. IF the mixture is dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of chicken broth.
Scoop about 1 to 1 1/4 cups of the mixture into the preheated waffle iron. Spread evenly, then close and lock.
Cook 5–8 minutes, or until the waffle is deeply golden brown and crisp. Remove carefully with tongs or a fork and repeat with remaining mixture.
Serve hot with gravy, cranberry sauce, or turkey on top.

Notes

Let the waffles rest for 1–2 minutes before cutting so they hold their shape.

For brunch, top with a fried egg and gravy
