It's national breakfast month and what better way than celebrate then at lunch time! Harmons chef Lesli Sommerdorf is putting a twist to one of the most popular breakfast meals - waffles. She has the recipe for smoked salmon waffles.
Smoked Salmon Waffles (Serves 4)
Ingredients:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 3/4 cups milk
2 eggs
6 tablespoons butter, melted
3 ounces smoked salmon slices, cut into 1-inch strips
5 green onions, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons snipped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
Sour cream or crème fraîche
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. In a large measuring cup with a spout, whisk together the milk, eggs, and melted butter. Add the milk-egg mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine. Add the smoked salmon, green onions, and chives and stir to combine.
Preheat a waffle maker. Brush lightly with oil or spray lightly with vegetable cooking spray.
When the iron is hot, pour about 1/2 cup batter over the grill. Use an offset spatula to spread it evenly across the surface to make a thin layer. Let the batter bake for about 30 seconds before closing the lid. Close the lid and let bake until the waffle is browned.
To keep the waffles warm, preheat a 200-degree oven and place cooked waffles on a baking sheet until all the waffles are cooked.
Garnish the waffles with chives and serve with sour cream.
