Savory Waffles with Fried Eggs and Mango Salsa

Recipe from Jeanine Donofrio of Love and Lemons; courtesy of Mango Board (mango.org)

The Salsa

1 medium mango, peeled, pitted and diced

1 small avocado, peeled, pitted and diced

1 lime, juiced (about 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice)

2 scallions, chopped

½ t. ground smoked paprika

¼ t. red chili flakes

¼ t. salt

In a small glass bowl mix together the diced mango, avocado, lime juice, scallions, smoked paprika, red chili flakes and salt. Taste and adjust seasonings. Chill until ready to serve.

The Waffles

½ c. all purpose flour

½ c. whole wheat flour

1 ½ t. baking powder

1 T. sugar

1 t. chili powder

½ t. salt

½ c. milk

2 eggs, beaten

2 T. unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Preheat your waffle iron. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar, chili powder and salt. In a small separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs and melted butter. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Pour the waffle batter into your preheated waffle iron. This batter is enough to make 4 to 5 thick square waffles, depending on the size of your waffle iron, your yield may vary.

The Fried Eggs

4 eggs for frying

½ t. olive oil or butter

Pinch of salt and pepper

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Crack 4 eggs into the skillet and cook until whites are set but the yolks are still runny. About 4 to 5 minutes. (You may need to cook 2 eggs at a time, depending on the size of your pan).

Assemble by spreading a touch of butter on each waffle, then top with a spoonful of mango-avocado salsa and the fried egg. Add a pinch of salt and pepper on the top of each egg.
