Breakfast waffle burrito

What happens when Sunday breakfast meets Tex-Mex practicality? The waffle burrito. Here the waffle functions not as a crispy dessert, but as a soft, pliable 'tortilla'. The secret is not to overcook the waffle so it stays flexible, and to roll it immediately while the steam keeps it soft.

Instructions

1

Mix the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, sugar). In another bowl mix the milk, 2 eggs and melted butter.

Tip: Sugar is not here for sweetness, but to promote caramelisation (nice brown colour).
2

Pour the liquid into the flour and mix until lump-free. Bake soft waffles from it. Don't bake them crisp! Stack them on a plate and cover with a tea towel.

Tip: Under the cover, the waffles soften in their own steam, so they remain pliable.
3

Meanwhile fry the bacon until crispy, then make soft scrambled eggs from the 4 eggs in the remaining fat.

Tip: Take the scrambled eggs off the heat while still slightly runny, because they will continue to 'cook' in the hot waffle.
4

Assemble the burrito: pile the scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese, sliced avocado and tomato onto the waffle. Top with soured cream and coriander.

5

Roll up carefully. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.

Tip: If the waffle still breaks, put it in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften up again.

Recipe FAQ

Why does the waffle break when rolling?
You overcooked it (it dried out) or let it cool down. The waffle must be steaming and soft to roll.
