Cheesy Egg Waffles: Easy High-Protein Snack (Meal Prep Friendly)

These cheesy egg waffles are one of my go-to snacks. I make a batch weekly, keep them in the fridge, and grab one when I need something that actually holds me over (not something that leaves me rummaging for more food 20 minutes later).
Broccoli is my usual, but I switch up the veggies all the time.
Why this snack works (especially in perimenopause)
They have the perfect balance of protein, fiber and healthy fats to keep your blood sugar balanced and fill you up.
Protein (eggs + cheese) helps you feel satisfied and keeps energy steadier.
Fibre (broccoli) supports digestion and helps slow the blood sugar spike-and-crash thing.
Healthy fats (cheese) make this snack more satisfying and help keep hunger steady.
Ingredients
You’ll need:
3 eggs
¾ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, marble, or a mix)
Steamed broccoli, diced (about 1/2 cup to cup once chopped)
Directions
Steam the broccoli until it’s tender (not mushy), then dice it small. Smaller pieces help the waffles hold together.
Preheat your waffle maker
In a bowl, whisk the eggs.
Stir in the shredded cheese and diced broccoli.
Spoon the mixture into the waffle maker. Don’t overfill (it expands a bit).
Cook until golden and set. Every waffle maker is different, but it’s usually 4–6 minutes.
Repeat until you’ve made 4 waffles.
Quick note: this is the waffle maker I use. It’s compact, easy to clean, and perfect for quick batches like this.
