In the morning, heat waffle iron. Beat egg and melted butter into bowl of batter; batter will be quite thin. Spray hot waffle iron with non-stick spray, and rub on a little butter with a paper towel or piece of bread. Add enough batter to cover cooking surface, about 1 1/3 for a Belgium waffle, or 2/3 cup for a standard waffle iron.

Cook waffles until crisp and brown but not too dark, 2-3 minutes each.
