10 Waffle Recipes for National Waffle Day

The waffle is often overshadowed by its more popular sister, the pancake. But this quintessential breakfast dish has a long history that reportedly dates back to ancient Greece, according to The Kitchn. It wasn’t until the 17th century that Dutch colonists introduced the food to America and it found its partner in crime, syrup.

Today, variations range from the traditional whipped-cream-topped fare, to chocolate-infused versions, to waffled breakfast quesadillas. (The number of foods you can cook in a waffle maker will surprise you.) Celebrate the honeycombed meal with these fun, offbeat recipes for the ultimate Waffle 2.0.
