Pioneer Woman Waffle Maker Recipes

WAFFLE MAKER PANINI

Steps:

• Special equipment: a waffle maker
• Preheat a waffle maker to the regular setting according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Butter each piece of bread on 1 side. Flip 1 piece and spread the non-buttered side with pesto. Top with the sliced mozzarella and tomatoes and lay the second piece of bread on top buttered-side up. Place on the waffle maker, close the lid and cook until melted and golden.

WAFFLE IRON HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Thaw the hash browns at room temperature for about 3 hours, turning the package over occasionally. (Or you may place the frozen hash browns in the fridge overnight.) When they are thawed, preheat the waffle iron to medium-low heat.
• Place half the hash browns in the middle of a stack of three or four paper towels. Bunch up the potatoes and squeeze them to force out as much liquid as possible. Place the hash browns in a large bowl, then repeat with the rest of the hash browns.
• Drizzle in the butter, then add the pepper and toss everything together.
• Coat the surface of the waffle iron with cooking spray, then add 1/2 cup of the potato mixture to each well. (You should hear them start to sizzle!)
• Sprinkle the chopped ham evenly over the potatoes then add the cheese. Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of the potatoes over the top of each waffle. Then close the lid and let 'em cook! How long the waffles take to cook depends on the heat of your waffle maker and the moisture of the potatoes. Lift the lid and check on the waffles from time to time to make sure they aren't burning. The edges and the cheese will start to crisp up and get golden, but you'll want to keep it going until everything is deep golden.
• Use a dull knife or spatula to remove the waffles. Serve them with ketchup and dig right in! These are absolutely addictive. Crispy and wonderful!
• Change Things Up!
• For a simpler hash brown, omit the cheese and ham and just put 3/4 cup
• potatoes in each well.
• Add diced onion and green bell pepper along with the ham and cheese.

WAFFLE MAKER PIZZA

Steps:

• Special equipment: a waffle maker
• Preheat a waffle maker to a high heat according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• To make 1 pizza, stretch or roll out one-quarter of the pizza dough to a size slightly smaller than the waffle maker. Spray the waffle maker with the olive oil spray and place the dough on the surface. Close the lid and cook until the dough is nicely browned, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, depending on your machine.
• Open the lid and spread a thin layer of marinara sauce across the pizza. Season with red pepper flakes and oregano. Sprinkle over a layer of mozzarella, sprinkle on some ham and pineapple chunks and top with roasted vegetables. Sprinkle over a second layer of mozzarella. Close the lid and cook just until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove and eat. Careful, it will be hot!
• Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

WAFFLE MAKER QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Special equipment: a waffle maker
• Preheat a waffle maker to the regular setting according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Sprinkle the cheese on 1 tortilla, add the salsa and place the second tortilla on top. Spray the waffle maker with the cooking spray. Place the quesadilla on the waffle maker, close the lid and cook until the cheese melts, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Slice and serve.

WAFFLEMAKER HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron on the regular setting and spray both sides with cooking spray.
• Squeeze out any excess moisture from the hash browns and put in a bowl. Pour the melted butter over the hash browns, sprinkle with the salt and pepper and stir. Scoop a heaping 1/2 cup of the seasoned hash browns into each waffle section, then top with a generous 2 tablespoons Cheddar followed by a sprinkling of chopped ham. Top the cheese and ham in each section with another 1/4 cup hash browns. Close the waffle iron and cook for 15 minutes on the regular setting.
• Repeat with the remaining hash browns, cheese and ham, filling one section of the waffle iron.
