Savoury Waffles with Cheeses and Chives
Wake up to these scrumptious Savoury Waffles with 3 cheeses and chives. Serve them with smoked salmon, eggs, bacon or sausages!
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain flour (all-purpose flour) (NOTE 1)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¾ cup buttermilk (at room temperature) (NOTE 2)
- 2 tbsp melted butter (more to grease)
- 1 large egg (at room temperature)
- ⅔ cup shredded tasty cheese (NOTE 3)
- ⅓ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (NOTE 3)
- ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese (NOTE 3)
- ⅓ cup fresh chives (thinly sliced, or spring onion/scallions)
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle maker to 200°C (390°F). For the dry ingredients - Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. For the wet ingredients - In a separate bowl, pour in the buttermilk and melted butter, then add the egg. Whisk until smooth.
- Make a well in the dry ingredients, then pour in the wet ingredients. Fold the ingredients together just until combined (don't over-mix). The mixture will be a little lumpy, but this is okay. Add the cheeses and chives into the batter and fold a few times to combine.
- Once the waffle maker comes to temperature, brush a generous amount of melted butter all over the plates of the waffle maker (top and bottom). Place 1/3 cup of batter for each waffle and cook for 7 to 8 minutes or until the waffles are nice and golden.
Notes
(NOTE 1) Plain flour (all-purpose flour) doesn't have any leavening or raising agents (such as baking powder) mixed into the flour.
(NOTE 2) Buttermilk adds a nice savoury and tangy flavour to the waffles. If buttermilk isn't available, swap it with milk. The waffles will still be delicious and crispy.
(NOTE 3) Cheeses - I used a mix of tasty cheddar, mozzarella and parmesan cheese. However, you don't have to use 3 types of cheeses, just two or one will do. Select a strong-tasting cheese that melts easily when heated, such as Swiss, Gruyere, or any kind of cheddar cheese.
Serving suggestions - These cheesy waffles are best served immediately. Serve them just like you would with slices of bread. Grilled/pan-fried mushrooms, tomatoes, eggs, sausage, bacon or wilted spinach are great choices to serve with these savoury waffles.
Leftovers - Allow the waffles to cool completely at room temperature, then transfer them into an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. If frozen, they'll keep for 2-3 months. Reheat the waffles in a toaster or under a grill/broil.
