Australian-Inspired Waffles
Vegemite is an iconic ingredient in Australian breakfasts, often spread on toast, but now it finds its place in a waffle! The distinctive flavors of the savory yeast extract are enriched by the cheddar cheese, while the avocado and fried egg enhance the modern Australian brunch vibe. As the waffle bakes, the cheese browns and the aroma of Vegemite appears subtly – not intrusive, but special. The crispy waffle and creamy avocado are a real treat in every bite. This recipe is an ideal choice for those who like savory breakfasts but would like to try something truly new. Tip: Vegemite can be replaced with savory yeast spread if it is difficult to obtain.

Preparation Steps
1
Melt the butter over low heat, then let it cool to lukewarm. Tip: Lukewarm butter blends well with the other liquid ingredients and prevents the eggs from scrambling.
2
Whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Then, whisk in the flour and baking powder until just combined. Tip: Use a hand whisk or immersion blender for a smooth, lump-free batter.
3
Add the grated cheddar cheese and Vegemite to the batter, then mix evenly. Tip: Due to Vegemite's salty, distinctive flavor, do not use more than the specified amount.
4
Preheat the waffle iron and grease it with a little butter or oil. Pour in the batter and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Tip: The cheese will make the outside of the waffle extra crispy.
5
Slice the avocado and prepare fried eggs in a little oil or butter. Tip: The egg yolks should remain runny to complement the creamy texture of the avocado.
6
Serve the waffles warm, topped with avocado slices and a fried egg. Tip: The avocado and Vegemite create a unique contrast, so don't skip either layer.
