Waffles made in the shape of four hearts are classic to Scandinavia. In my childhood, they would only be served made with sugar and topped with sweet stuff like brunost or jam. Now, waffles or vafler are also commonly served with savoury toppings and are a nice treat in the packed lunch. Norwegians are big on packed lunches and the old bread and spread can get a bit boring, so why not swap the bread for waffles? This recipe is healthy and high in protein, which will keep you full for hours after lunch.
