Great for the lazy ones
Toaster waffles are a quick and convenient breakfast food for those on the go – or too lazy to actually make breakfast. They are not particularly tasty, but they’re easy.
During a recent trip I stayed at a couple of hotels offering “made your own waffle” and was surprised at how much better those waffles are, despite being served with cheap toppings. Part of the reason is that those waffles are much thicker than the frozen waffles I’d been buying. The thickness allows for a crispy crust and a soft, chewy interior. Come Eggo Thick & Fluffy waffles.
These waffles are, of course, much smaller and not as thick as those you can make at hotel buffets – but they are significantly thicker than the regular ones. I’d say they’re just thick enough to give you a good waffle experience. Pour real maple syrup and whipped cream on top, and they’re just delicious. Adding sliced fruit makes them even better. If what you’re looking for is to make breakfast-dessert on a plate without actually cooking anything, these are probably the best base for it.
They are, of course, more expensive than regular waffles. A package of 12 was $5 on sale at Safeway ($8 regular)
