Switch up your waffle routine with these savory cheddar zucchini waffles! They are super simple to make and delicious when served up with a fried egg and avocado.

Savory Cheddar Zucchini Waffles

For the longest time, you couldn’t convince me to go savory for breakfast. I was all about the pancakes, smoothies, donuts… These days, I find myself learning to appreciate a good savory breakfast entree like these cheddar zucchini waffles.

I was craving waffles a couple of weeks ago and decided to try a savory version this time around and I loved how they turned out! I’m thinking these will be the first of many savory breakfast dishes to appear on the blog. 😉

Cheddar Zucchini Waffles

My favorite way to serve these tasty cheddar zucchini waffles with some sautéed spinach, fried egg, sliced avocado, and a drizzle of hot sauce. I stored the extra waffles in the freezer in a ziploc bag and reheated them throughout the week in the toaster oven. They were just as good as they were the day I made them!

    Look beautiful, outside nice and crunchy, taste ok but the inside stays mushy as hell, even after I added cornstarch for the 2nd edition. I will try again with nuked and drained courgettes. The taste of the crunchy part is lovely. In the picture it looks like your waffle maker gives thinner waffles than mine, so it might need a different MO. Will keep you posted.

      Thanks Sasha. I’m guessing it may be the difference in the waffle makers. Let me know if you try it again sometime!

        I did find the solution. Instead of using a box grater, I shredded the courgettes using the Kitchen Aid cylinder grate. The vegetable grating comes out much drier and looser. Crunchy results.

    This is the 3rd, and by far the BEST, recipe for zucchini waffles I have tried. I have am old, possibly antique waffle iron. Preheating is so important.
    These waffles were just the way I like them. Crispy on the outside, and just so delish.
    They had a bit too much salt for my taste, I will cut salt in half next time. This recipe has been added to my breakfast line-up of recipes. I cannot wait to make them again!
    No left overs today, so I will double the next batch so I can freeze some to pop in the toaster for a quick breakfast.
    I didn’t grow zucchini in my garden this year, but just added them to my garden planning for next year.
    I enjoy cooking and trying new recipes. Cooking has been my go to pleasure during the past crazy year avoiding COVID-19.
    Thanks for this great recipe!!!
    This made me very happy today.
