Smoked Salmon & Dill Waffles recipe image
These savory Smoked Salmon & Dill Waffles are a delightful twist on the classic brunch staple.

The waffles cook up golden and crisp on the outside, with a tender, fluffy interior. They serve as a perfect vehicle for rich toppings like softened cream cheese mixed with chopped scallions, or a dollop of sour cream garnished with salmon caviar.
