Why are the egg waffles so delicious and coveted? One of the main reasons could be that the ingredients that make up the waffle are extremely simple. The overall hexagonal shape derives from the waffle mold that is used to cook the treats this makes the egg waffles impossible to be mistaken for anything else.
