If you make these cauli waffles please expect something a little different. They are really tasty and are a little crunchy on the outside with a soft middle.  We love them served with a poached egg and nitrate-free bacon.  They freeze well so feel free to make a double batch so you always have some on hand, just separate them between baking paper and to re-heat just fry off in a frying pan in a small amount of butter, ghee or coconut oil.

If you don’t have a waffle maker then just cook them in a frying pan like you would a fritter, or you can use a sandwich press.
