Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron
Set your waffle iron to a low or medium heat and allow it to fully preheat. Lightly coat both the top and bottom plates with nonstick cooking spray. - Whisk the egg whites
Add the egg whites to a large bowl and whisk vigorously until slightly frothy. This creates a lighter, fluffier omelette. - Add the fillings
Stir in the shredded cheese, diced turkey sausage, bell peppers, onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined. - Cook the omelette
Pour a portion of the egg mixture into the center of the waffle iron, being careful not to overfill. Gently close the lid and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and lightly golden. Cooking times may vary depending on your waffle iron. - Remove and repeat
Carefully remove the waffle omelette using a spatula. Repeat with remaining mixture if needed. - Serve
Garnish with fresh chives and serve warm.
