When ready to eat, simply place the frozen waffles in a toaster until heated through. Top as desired and enjoy!

Notes

Adjusting for Cottage Cheese: These are adapted from my cottage cheese pancakes which I tested SO many times and ways! And I found that they turned out the absolute best as written which is using pressed cottage cheese (which you may also find labelled as Twarog or dry curd cottage cheese). However, if you want to make these with regular cottage cheese, you can but omit the egg whites otherwise they will have too much liquid.

Toppings! Really, the best part, right? These are great with all of your favorite toppings:

Maple Syrup and Butter (classic!)
Berries and yogurt
Sliced bananas and nut butter
