# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The Greek yogurt creates this incredible tender crumb while packing in 11 grams of protein per serving, so you feel satisfied without that heavy breakfast coma
  • These waffles freeze beautifully, so you can batch-cook Sunday mornings and have homemade weekday breakfasts ready in minutes
02 -
  • Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking, this hydrates the flour and makes noticeably fluffier waffles
  • The waffles might look slightly pale when done but they crisp up beautifully as they cool for a minute
03 -
  • Separate the eggs and whip the whites to fold in at the end for extra cloud-like texture
  • Let the batter rest at room temperature while the iron heats, this hydrates the flour for tender results
