A New Twist on Waffles: Pizza!

Posted by on December 13, 2011 Leave a Comment


I am excited to be sharing my first YUMMY post with you. These golden, crispy dippers are fun for the whole family. Did I mention that they are DELICIOUS?! At first glance, I know you are all thinking “WHAT?! Waffle, melted cheese and pizza sauce? Huh?” Don’t run away screaming yet. The waffle part isn’t really waffles…. it’s a crescent roll. Now I have your attention!  Convenient, semi healthy and you can even find them whole wheat!

For this recipe I used regular crescent rolls, but you could also use whole-wheat ones as well.  I used non-stick olive oil spray on my iron, which made that a simple clean up. It’s the area around the waffle iron that gets a tad bit messy. The cheese oozed out onto the counter, but that was a small price to pay for such a fun, crispy treat.  My 2 & 4 year olds devoured these. My husband was quite upset… he was hopping for more leftovers.  I hope you love these savory dippers as much as we did!
