Oh honey, let me tell you about my absolute favorite midnight craving that’ll have you sneaking to the kitchen at 2 AM like a teenager raiding the fridge! This loaded pizza waffle sandwich is literally what dreams are made of, and trust me, your taste buds will thank you later.
Listen, we’ve all been there – tossing and turning in bed, stomach growling like a hungry bear. Well, I’ve got the perfect solution that takes just 10 minutes to whip up and tastes like pure heaven.
What you’ll need (grab these ingredients, bestie):
– 2 regular waffles (frozen is fine, I won’t judge!)
– 3 slices of pepperoni
– 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
– 2 tablespoons marinara sauce
– 1 tablespoon butter
– Italian seasoning
– Optional: red pepper flakes for my spicy queens
(Quick pause! If you’re loving this already, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for more drool-worthy recipes that’ll make your midnight cravings so much more exciting! 😉)
Now, let’s get cooking:
1. Toast those waffles until they’re golden brown and slightly crispy. We want them sturdy enough to hold all that goodness!
1. While they’re toasting, grab a small pan and warm up your pepperoni slices for about 30 seconds. This releases all those yummy oils – trust me on this one!
1. Time to assemble! Spread marinara sauce on both waffle sides (don’t be shy with it!).
1. Layer one waffle with the pepperoni, sprinkle that generous amount of cheese (because who’s counting calories at midnight?), and add a dash of Italian seasoning.
1. Here’s the game-changer: butter the outside of both waffles like you’re making a grilled cheese.
1. Heat up a pan on medium heat, place your assembled sandwich, and press down with a spatula. Flip after 2-3 minutes or when golden brown.
The result? A crispy, cheesy, slightly spicy piece of midnight heaven that’ll make you want to do a happy dance in your kitchen! The contrast between the crispy waffle exterior and the melty cheese inside is _chef’s kiss_ perfection.
Y’all, I can’t even tell you how many times this recipe has saved me from those late-night hunger pangs. It’s like a pizza and a waffle had a beautiful baby, and I’m here for it!
