Main Ingredients

200 grams (7 ounces) low-fat cottage cheese
70 grams (2.5 ounces) mozzarella cheese, cubed
50 grams (1.75 ounces) flour
2 medium eggs
50-60 ml (1.7-2 ounces) milk
5 grams (0.2 ounces) baking powder
Salt and seasonings (optional: herbs)

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine 200 grams of low-fat cottage cheese with 70 grams of cubed mozzarella cheese.

Next, add 50 grams of flour and crack in 2 medium eggs. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated.

If the batter is too thick, gradually add in 50-60 ml of milk to achieve a smoother consistency. Season with salt and herbs if desired.

Step 2

Add Baking Powder

Once the batter is ready, gently fold in 5 grams of baking powder to give your waffles a lovely rise.

Make sure the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the batter for consistent texture.

Step 3

Cook the Waffles

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease it if necessary.

Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron and close the lid. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Serve with Fish

Once cooked, carefully remove the waffles from the iron. Serve them warm topped with delicious smoked tuna and trout.

For an added treat, consider serving them alongside scrambled eggs and fresh herbs. Enjoy your meal!

We recommend:

Variations

Gluten-Free Option: Simply swap the regular flour with gluten-free flour blends for a tasty alternative that everyone can enjoy! 🌾✨
Vegan Option: Replace the eggs with a flaxseed mixture (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed + 2.5 tablespoons of water = 1 egg), and use a plant-based cheese in place of mozzarella. Enjoy a delicious dairy-free experience! 🌱💚
