10 Grain Savory Waffles with Cheddar, Dill and Ham
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy.
Savory waffles with cheddar, dill and ham are the perfect (savory!) way to start the day. With 10 grains, they’re sure to keep you energized throughout the whole morning!
I love a savory breakfast. If I’m eating out for breakfast (one of my favorite things to do), I’ll almost always choose an omelet over French toast. Ben still makes fun of me when I eat pizza for breakfast but I just can’t resist the call of savory foods waiting for me in the fridge.
Since I bought a new waffle maker, my current go-to is Bob’s Red Mill* 10 Grain Pancake & Waffle Whole Grain Mix. If I’m buying anything, bread, wraps, mixes like this waffle mix, my first choice is always whole grain or multi-grain.
However, since N’s severe reaction to sesame seeds, I’ve had to be really careful because so many whole grain/multi-grain products contain sesame seeds. So as you can imagine, I was thrilled to find that this pancake and waffle mix didn’t contain any sesame seeds. Which is good, because little man doesn’t eat much but he’s serious about waffles and pancakes. LOVES them.
See, he’s already licking his lips just holding the bag.
The only ingredients you need to add to this mix are eggs, oil, and water. I can’t handle a breakfast that takes forever to make (I wake up starving in the mornings and would rather sip on coffee than slave over breakfast!) so this is the perfect solution for my family.
But Bob’s Red Mill doesn’t stop at 10-grain – they also offer pancake and waffle mixes in buckwheat, buttermilk, high fiber, cornmeal and gluten-free. (I need to try the cornmeal! I love the crunch it adds to pancakes.)
Quick side note: Am I the only one obsessed with Bob’s Red Mill products? I swear by their thick-cut oats when making granola. They help achieve that perfect chewy-crunchy granola. (Yes, chewy and crunchy. It’s totally the thing you’re going for when making granola.)
Their farro, barley, quinoa, wheat berries, wheat bran, and wheat germ (and more!) are all at an arm’s reach on a dedicated fridge-door shelf. I love the huge variety of their products.
These savory waffles are super simple to make thanks to this mix. Once you get the batter mixed according to the directions on the package, all that’s left to do is fold in cheddar, dill, and ham. I use pre-shredded cheese, but these would be great with the sharpest cheddar you can find for the ultimate kick of flavor.
Then, into the waffle iron they go!
While they are cooking, I highly recommend frying up an egg with a nice runny yolk. They are also great topped with melted butter or a nice hollandaise sauce.

Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¾ cups milk
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup chopped sliced deli ham
- ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions
- 1 teaspoon dried dill weed optional
- Cooking spray or melted butter for greasing the waffle iron
Instructions
- Preheat Belgian waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until well combined.
- On top of the wet ingredients, add the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Gently toss these ingredients together before stirring into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
- Gently fold the shredded cheddar cheese, diced ham, sliced green onions, and chopped dill into the batter.
- Lightly coat the waffle iron with cooking spray or brush with melted butter to prevent sticking (you can skip this step if you feel it’s not necessary with your waffle iron).
- Pour about 1 cup of batter (adjust as needed for your waffle maker) onto the preheated waffle iron to cover the waffle grid. Close the lid and cook according to the manufacturer’s instructions until the waffles are golden brown and crisp (our waffle maker took 3 ½ minutes).
- Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the savory Belgian waffles warm, with additional shredded cheddar, diced ham, green onions, and dill as toppings if desired.
