6 Puff Pastry Waffle Variations

We've been waffling up a storm, using a method for stuffing and waffling puff pastry that we developed last week. The basics? Layer ingredients on puff pastry, roll it up jelly roll-style, twist it into a coil, then press it into a heated waffle iron. Let deliciousness ensue.

Here are our six recipes, all in one convenient and quick guide. Consider this the guide to crispy, buttery, delicious awesomeness. Or perhaps the guide to needing to go on a diet.
