Cheesy Noodle Breakfasts

J.Kenji Lopez-Alt Created a Bizarre Macaroni & Cheese Breakfast Waffle

— April 9, 2014 — Lifestyle
Serious Eats user J.Kenji Lopez-Alt posted this amazing breakfast waffle recipe because it was too good to not share with the rest of the world. We have seen some intestering waffle usage lately; there has been the 'Wafalafel' (made with falafel and waffle) and the Taco Bell Breakfast Taco, which is a taco wrapped with a waffle. However, this waffle recipe is one that you'll want to store for the next generation because it is infused with macaroni and cheese.

The creator added bacon, cheese and scallion into the waffle mix and then stirred in some fresh, already-made mac and cheese. Taking that mix and pouring it into a waffle maker will then give you the finished and delectable breakfast you've been dreaming of.

You can see the step-by-step instructions here.

3. Innovative Waffle Making Techniques - Exploring new methods of making waffles, like incorporating pre-made mac and cheese into the waffle batter, opens up possibilities for unique and creative breakfast options.
Industry Implications

3. Home Appliances - The home appliances industry can capitalize on the demand for innovative waffle making techniques by developing specialized waffle makers that facilitate the addition of unconventional ingredients like macaroni and cheese.
