Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by measuring out all dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them together in a large mixing bowl to ensure even distribution.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly, then add milk and whisk until well combined. This creates the wet ingredient mixture for your waffle batter.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine. Mix until just incorporated - do not overmix, as this can make the waffles tough.
- Fold in the crumbled cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Preheat your waffle iron and lightly grease it with butter to prevent sticking and create a crispy exterior.
- Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron (based on your specific waffle maker's instructions), ensuring even coverage.
- Cook the waffles until they are golden brown and crisp, typically 3-4 minutes, depending on your waffle iron's settings.
- Remove the waffle carefully and repeat the process with remaining batter, re-greasing the waffle iron as needed.
- Serve immediately while warm, optionally garnishing with additional shredded cheese or chopped herbs.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, consider measuring out your dry ingredients the night before. Simply combine them in a bowl and store in an airtight container.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, remember that a few lumps are okay! Overmixing can lead to tough waffles, so stir just until combined.
- Customize Your Add-ins: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or add-ins like diced bell peppers or green onions for an extra flavor kick.
- Temperature Matters: Make sure your waffle iron is fully preheated before adding the batter to ensure a crispy exterior. A hot iron helps to create those perfect golden edges!
- Serving Suggestions: These savory waffles are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a dollop of sour cream, a drizzle of hot sauce, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added flavor.
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They can be reheated in a toaster for a quick and tasty snack or breakfast option.
