Green Spinach Waffles with Cream Cheese Spread and Smoked Salmon
Method
- Make the waffles: Blend eggs, milk, and spinach into a smooth green liquid. Add oats, flour, baking powder, salt, and oil, then blend again until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes. Cook in a greased, hot waffle iron until golden and crisp.
- Make the cream cheese spread: Stir together cream cheese, crème fraîche, lemonzest, lemon juice, and pepper. Fold in the dill and chill until serving.
- Assemble: Spread the cream cheese mixture over the warm waffles, top with smoked salmon, garnish with dill and cucumber ribbons, and serve with lemon wedges.
Tip: For a festive touch, serve as bite-sized canapés.
