Ham and Cheese Waffles
Deliciously crispy, tender buttermilk waffles with ham and cheddar cheese. With maple syrup pools in every pocket, they're the perfect sweet-savoury combo.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp coarse salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
- 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 cup diced ham
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk flour with baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, lightly whisk eggs, then whisk in buttermilk and butter.
- Pour the egg mixture into the flour bowl, and use a very light hand to gently mix.
- When the ingredients about 80% combined, fold in the cheese and ham, being careful not to over-mix as waffles can become tough.
- Scoop about ¾ cup of the batter into a waffle iron (or per your waffle iron’s instructions) and cook until golden and crisp for about 3 minutes.
- Cook to order, or keep them warm in a 200ºF oven until ready to serve.
Notes
Feel free to swap 1/2 lb cooked, crumbled sausage or bacon for the ham.
