Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Waffle Finger Food
  1. Start by separating the egg, placing the yolk in a mixing bowl along with milk, olive oil, Parmigiano Reggiano, spices, salt, and a dash of pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined. Sift in the Farina 00 and baking powder, mixing until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the egg white until you achieve stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the batter to keep it light and airy.
  2. Preheat your waffle iron to a medium-high setting, ensuring it's ready before cooking. Lightly grease it with a smear of butter or olive oil to prevent sticking. Pour a ladleful of the waffle batter into the center of the iron, close the lid, and cook for about 4 minutes. Check for golden brown crispiness at around the 2-3 minute mark to ensure they don’t overcook.
  3. Once the waffles are cooked to a delightful golden brown, carefully remove them and place them on a cooling rack to maintain their crispiness. After a few minutes of cooling, trim away any irregular edges and slice the waffles into bite-sized strips or squares, shaping them perfectly for delightful finger food.
  4. To bring your Waffle Finger Food to life, start by preparing the goat cheese mixture. Combine it with a tablespoon of fresh cream to create a smooth, spreadable texture. Pipe this creamy delight onto the waffle pieces, then artfully arrange your favorite toppings like smoked salmon, fresh cherry tomatoes, or aromatic pesto. Create an exciting presentation on a platter, garnishing with fresh chives and olives for a pops of color.
