What Are Sloppy Waffles?
The Sam And Cat show is the inspiration behind my sloppy waffles recipe. Cat suggested merging traditional Sloppy Joe’s with waffles. It instantly became an internet hit!
Now, my recipe today doesn’t change much regarding the concept. But, I put my own unique flavor twist on these savory waffles. So, read on to find out exactly how I make Sam and Cat sloppy waffles.
Toppings For Sloppy Waffles
In my opinion, grated cheese is a must-add topping for sloppy waffles. You can choose whichever cheese you’d like. I love simpler options like Gouda or Cheddar.
However, you can also add crumbed feta cheese, Parmesan shavings, and for a refreshing option, a dollop of cream cheese.
Other great topping additions include chopped herbs. Again, there are many you can choose from, but soft herbs work best. Try to choose an option with a fresh flavor. For me, this is parsley, coriander, chives, or basil.
You can also serve these sloppy waffles with some of my healthy crispy air-fried eggplant slices.
FAQ’s
Are There Any Filling Variations For Sloppy Waffles?
Even though the original version is already decadently tasty, you can always alter the recipe to your liking.
Arguably the biggest change you can make is to use some other type of ground meat, like pork or lamb. When buying this product, always go for the lean option. It is less fatty and won’t give you that oily mouthfeel. Furthermore, it is healthier. To make a meat-free option, you can also use cooked brown lentils.
You can also add more chopped vegetables to the mixture along with the onions. Depending on what you add, you may need to cook them for longer.
And finally, for those feeling experimental, add some dried fruit or chopped nuts. Trust me, it adds a delicious flavor and crunchy texture.
How Do You Prevent Soggy Waffles?
The key to preventing waffles from becoming soggy is to keep them away from humidity and moisture. So, once they have been cooked and completely cooled, store them inside an airtight container. Only once you are ready to serve them, remove and reheat them.
How Do You Prevent Waffles From Sticking?
The best way to prevent waffles from sticking to your waffle iron is to use a non-stick cooking or baking spray. You can also brush it with butter, but that will likely burn due to the high heat.
Another trick to try is to leave the waffle in until it has completely cooked on one side. If you prematurely lift the cover, the waffle will break and stick. So, make sure to read the instructions on the iron before attempting to cook one.
How Should You Store Soggy Waffles?
The two elements of meaty soggy waffles, the filling, and the waffles should be stored separately. Otherwise, the juices from the topping will make the waffle soggy.
The waffles can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container or bag. And, the topping can be stored inside the fridge, also in an airtight stain-free container.
How Can You Reheat Soggy Waffles?
For the best results, reheat the fresh homemade waffles and meaty sloppy toppings separately.
The waffles reheat best in a preheated oven for roughly 8-10 minutes. The meat topping heats best in a pan or inside a microwave.
Once both parts are reheated, you can assemble and garnish them with the topping of your choice.
