Stuffing Waffles

Heather Baird
Turn leftover or freshly made stuffing into crispy, golden waffles. Perfect as a Thanksgiving side dish, Friendsgiving treat, or easy Black Friday brunch.
The yield will vary with different styles of waffle irons. Standard waffle irons will yield 4-5 waffles. Belgian waffle irons will yield about 2 large waffles.

Equipment

  • waffle iron

Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 cups prepared stuffing homemade or store-bought, cooled
  • 3 large eggs well beaten
  • 3 tablespoons chicken stock
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley optional
  • 4 tablespoons melted salted butter for greasing waffle iron

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the prepared stuffing, beaten eggs, chicken stock, and parsley if using. Stir until well mixed. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile preheat your waffle iron. Brush the plates generously with melted butter to prevent sticking and help the waffles crisp up.
  • Spoon about 1/2 cup of the mixture into a standard waffle iron, or about 1 cup for a Belgian waffle iron. Close the iron and cook until heated through and crisp on the edges, about 3–5 minutes. Adjust timing based on your waffle maker.
  • Serve warm as a Thanksgiving side dish, with leftover turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce, or even a fried egg for brunch.

Notes

Recipe Notes / Tips:

  • Not Just Leftovers: You can make stuffing waffles intentionally as a planned side dish. Start with freshly prepared stuffing, either homemade like cornbread stuffing or a bagged mix. Let the stuffing cool completely before using it in this recipe.
  • Make Ahead: Cooked stuffing waffles can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat in a hot waffle iron for a minute or two to restore crispiness, or warm in a 350°F oven for 5–8 minutes.
  • Freezing: Let cooked waffles cool completely, freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat from frozen in the waffle iron or oven until heated through and crisp.
  • Serving Ideas: Top with gravy, cranberry sauce, leftover turkey, or a fried egg for breakfast or brunch.
