Lovers of Spanakopita, the famous Greek spinach pie, this is the waffle recipe for you! All the flavour of classic Greek spinach pie in an easy waffle recipe. These healthy savoury waffles are so yummy and you can serve them hot or cold, with or without the tzatziki.

I can’t get enough of savoury waffles at the moment – mostly because they can be thrown together so quickly and leftovers keep really well for emergency lunch options.

I used a Belgian style waffle maker for this recipe – this is deeper and more suited to savoury recipes, liked these mashed potato waffles!

HOW TO MAKE SPINACH WAFFLES

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, salt and oil. Sift the flour and baking powder over the bowl and then mix together until batter is smooth. Fold in the cooked potatoes, chopped spinach, feta, spring onion and herbs.

Use enough batter to fill about half the surface of your waffle maker – remember it will expand when you close the lid so don’t overfill.

Cook for about 5 minutes or until golden and firm. Carefully transfer to a warm plate. Repeat with rest of the batter – depending on the size and depth of your waffle maker you will end up with 3-4 large waffles.
