Ingredients
  

For the Waffle Tacos:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

½ teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1 ¼ cups milk

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Scrambled Eggs:

6 large eggs

2 tablespoons milk

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Fresh herbs (such as chives or parsley) for garnish (optional)

For Assembly:

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your preference)

Salsa or hot sauce, to taste (optional)

Sour cream, to taste (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Waffle Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well-blended. Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

    Preheat the Waffle Maker: Set up your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions and preheat it. Once it’s ready, lightly coat the plates with cooking spray or a brush of melted butter to prevent sticking.

      Cook the Waffles: Pour approximately ½ cup of batter onto the preheated waffle maker, adjusting based on your specific appliance. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy, which usually takes about 4-5 minutes. Once done, transfer the waffles to a wire rack to keep them crisp while you repeat the process with the remaining batter.

        Make the Scrambled Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until combined. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted and begins to sizzle, pour in the egg mixture. Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for a few seconds before gently stirring with a spatula. Continue to fold the eggs until fluffy and softly set, which should take about 3-4 minutes.

          Assemble Your Waffle Tacos: Carefully fold each waffle into a taco shape. Spoon a generous amount of the scrambled eggs into each taco. Top with sliced avocado, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, and any desired extras like salsa, hot sauce, or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor.

            Serve and Enjoy: If using, sprinkle fresh herbs over the filled tacos for garnish. Serve your Golden Waffle Tacos warm and enjoy this exciting breakfast fusion that’s sure to delight!
