Insanely Good Zucchini Waffle Grilled Cheese

These zucchini waffle grilled cheese sandwiches are pretty simple. I shredded about 4 cups of zucchini and combined that with 2 eggs. I mixed in some almond flour, parmesan cheese, and seasonings. That’s it! You are ready to waffle! I recently “amazoned” myself this Belgian waffle maker and it’s been love at first bite. Super easy and mess free with a drip tray. Thank you very much for that.

The key to making the perfect Zucchini Waffle Grilled Cheese is getting as much water out of the zucchini. To do this, I suggest wrapping it up in a thin kitchen towel and squeezing it. It works well with minimal mess. Remember to lightly coat your waffle maker with some oil to prevent sticking. Cooking spray can dull the non-stick coating.

For this recipe, I used about 1/2 cup of batter for each waffle and ended up with 4 waffles. Perfect for 2 Zucchini Waffle Grilled Cheese Sandwiches. The easiest way to make your grilled cheese is to put your waffle back into the waffle maker, add your cheese, and then top with a second waffle. I suggest Gruyere or Mozzarella but any cheese will do! Just a few minutes and your life-changing zucchini waffle grilled cheese is done!

Can I make these Zucchini Grilled Cheese Waffles ahead?

The waffles themselves can be made ahead. I would warm them up either in a skillet or back in the waffle iron then add the cheese in between them.

Can they be frozen?

I believe they would do better in the refrigerator for up to a week. Freezing will make them mushy.

What other ingredients can I add into my Zucchini Waffle Grilled Cheese?

So many things! Here are a few ideas:

-sliced tomato

-sliced mushrooms

-bacon

-chicken or turkey

-avocado
