Savory Waffles
Savory waffles with cheddar and ham, with just a touch of dill, are the perfect (savory!) way to start the day!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups milk
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (lightly spooned into measuring cup)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (other types of cheese can be substituted)
- ½ cup chopped sliced deli ham
- ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions
- 1 teaspoon dried dill weed, optional
- nonstick spray or melted butter for greasing the waffle iron
Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. I use a Belgian waffle maker.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs until well combined.1 ¾ cups milk, ⅓ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs
- 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.2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon salt
- Gently fold the shredded cheddar cheese, diced ham, sliced green onions, and dill into the batter.1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese, ½ cup chopped sliced deli ham, ¼ cup thinly sliced green onions, 1 teaspoon dried dill weed, optional
- 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).nonstick spray or melted butter for greasing the 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.
Notes
- Optional toppings: Consider serving with a dollop of sour cream, salsa, or a poached or fried egg on top for extra flavor. Maple syrup or hot honey is great too, if you love a sweet/savory combination.
- Be sure to refer to the instructions that come with your waffle maker regarding how much batter to use and how long to cook the waffles. I have a Belgian-style waffle iron so the instructions above are specific to that style of waffle. However, this recipe will work well with any type of waffle maker.
- Yield also depends on your waffle maker. The recipe makes 4 cups of batter which yields 4 Belgian-style waffles.
