Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 8 oz feta cheese
  • 1 ¾ cups low fat or whole milk plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp table salt plus more to taste
  • ½ tsp cracked pepper plus more to taste
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 scallions
  • 1 lime
  • 1 cup spinach

Instructions
 

  • Separate the whites and yolks of 2 large eggs. Set the whites aside.
  • In a large bowl, mash together 4 oz of feta cheese, and 1¾ cup of Greek yogurt until smooth.
  • Whisk in 2 egg yolks and 5 tablespoons of melted butter until smooth in the feta-yogurt mixture. Set aside.
  • Whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of table salt, 1½ teaspoons of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of cracked pepper. Set aside.
  • Place the egg whites you set aside in the bottom of a stainless steel bowl. Using your stand mixer or hand mixer, whip egg whites until soft peaks form and hold their form, 4-5 minutes.
  • Fold the flour mixture into the egg yolk mixture being careful not to over-mix.
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the rest of the mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture. The final mixture will be thick.
  • Heat and grease your waffle iron. When hot, add scoops of waffle batter to your waffle iron and cook until the waffle iron signals they are done, 4-5 minutes. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
  • Heat a skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter. Once hot, carefully crack eggs into skillet.
  • Season eggs with salt and pepper.
  • Fry eggs until whites have set but yolks remain runny, 4 minutes.
  • Chop green stalks of two scallions. Set aside.
  • Zest 1 lime and cut into wedges. Set aside.
  • Half and slice 2 avocados and spritz with lime juice for flavor and to prevent browning. Set aside.
  • Cube 4 oz of remaining feta. Set aside.
  • Wash and dry 1 cup of spinach.
  • Put one waffle on a plate. Add several spinach leaves, a few feta cubes, and slices from ½ an avocado.
  • Add a fried egg, and top with lime zest, a few scallions, and a few feta cubes.
  • Add another waffle, and top with a few more feta cubes, scallions, lime zest, and a spritz of lime juice.
  • Serve immediately.
