Method
Step 1
Use your hands to squeeze as much water from the spinach as possible. Transfer to a large bowl with the cauliflower rice, ham, spring onion, seasoning, flour, cheddar and fetta. Add egg and stir to combine. Season.
Step 2
Preheat a greased waffle maker. Add one-third of the cauliflower mixture and close the lid. Cook for 6-8 mins or until waffle is golden and cooked through. (Alternatively, spoon 4 one-quarter cupfuls of mixture in a large greased frying pan over medium heat. Cook for 3 mins each side or until golden and cooked through.) Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat, in 2 more batches, with the remaining mixture.
Step 3
Divide the waffles among serving plates with the rocket, tomato, avocado and lemon wedges. Drizzle waffles with the balsamic glaze and sprinkle with the chives. Season.
Recipe tip
COOK. STORE. SAVE:
Smart Swap: For a tasty twist, swap the all purpose seasoning with whatever seasoning blend you have handy – think Cajun, Moroccan or barbecue seasoning.
Plan ahead: Make these waffles the night before, so you can serve them all at the same time for brunch. Store in a sealed container in fridge. Reheat in a single layer on a lined baking tray in a preheated oven at 150°C for 10 mins or until crisp.
