Last Monday( 25 of March) was the yearly Waffle day in Sweden - not sure if it is an international waffle day, from what I can read has a special waffle day spread to other countries but not necessarily on the same day as in Sweden. In Team Nikolovski household we eat waffles now and then all year around. Sometimes and lately pretty often for breakfast or after kindergarten snack with raspberry jam and whipped cream.
A few years ago when we lived in Prague - I got a question from an international cooking magazine based in Prague, chefparade.cz, if I could prepare a Swedish Easter breakfast. Hmmm Swedish Easter breakfast more then just painted eggs and Kalles kaviar and I thought that the traditional Swedish herring and potatoes felt too much for breakfast. After some thinking I came up with waffles with typical Easter topping such as smoked salmon, shrimps, egg, red onions and sour cream. No maybe it is not something every Swede makes for Easter breakfast but i thought it was a great idea and good combination of what we do typically eat for Easter with what is nice for breakfast and in an international context. The article was nicely written but it and I got so many comments from Swedes who were objecting that this is not at all what we eat for breakfast around Easter. Hahaa such narrow minded people I was surprises with these reactions as I had no intention to break any Swedishness rules when I said yes to make this article. I just used my creativity in combination with my experiences from Swedish Easter and breakfast. Anyways here is the article and I think my waffles are perfect for Easter and the waffle day and all other days too.
