Waes
Healthy traditional and
non-traditional recipes for the
Chefman 4-Slice
Ceramic Wae Maker
The Wae has been a staple of the family breakfast
for centuries. As people have become more health
conscious in recent years, the wae breakfast started
to wane. That is why at Chefman, we have created a
ceramic coated wae iron, eliminating the need for
excessive oil or butter without sacrificing flavor.
In this cookbook you will find a collection of healthy
wae recipes, many versatile enough to be used for
Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Dinner, or even snacktime.
There is no reason healthy can’t also be delicious,
right? Happy Waing!

A kid-friendly sandwich but any adult who likes a warm cheese-filled
sandwich will enjoy it too.

4 slices so whole-wheat bread
2 tablespoons butter, soened
4 slices reduced fat cheese (example: cheddar or Monterey jack)

sure they are not getting overcooked. No need to flip these because
they will cook evenly on both sides.

Wae Banana Bread
Ingredients:
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup sugar
½ cup chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
¼ teaspoon fine salt
1 cup smashed banana (2 to 3 small bananas)
½ cup vegetable oil, plus more for brushing wae iron
½ cup sour cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
So unsalted butter and confectioners’ sugar, for dusting, optional
Instructions:
Preheat your wae iron to medium-high. Preheat the oven to 200
degrees Fahrenheit (to keep cooked waes warm). Whisk together the
flour, sugar, walnuts, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg
and salt in a large bowl. Whisk together the banana, oil, sour cream,
vanilla and eggs in another bowl. Fold the banana mixture into the
flour mixture until just combined.
Lightly brush the top and bottom of the wae iron with oil. Fill each
section about three-quarters of the way full (there should still be
some wae iron showing). Close and cook until the waes are golden
brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Keep the waes warm in the oven or covered
with foil on a plate while you cook the remaining batter. Spread with
butter and dust with confectioners’ sugar if you’d like.
Recipe Notes: Freeze any leover waes in a Ziploc bag, and reheat
them in the toaster.
