Cheddar Cornmeal Waffle Blt Recipes

CHEDDAR CORNBREAD WAFFLES FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Whisk together the dry ingredients.
• In a smaller bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry, folding together until just combined. Don't over mix -the batter should be shaggy, vs smooth.
• Add in the melted butter, and cheese, folding together gently. Again - don't over mix!!
• Heat your waffle maker. I like to use a high setting (but yours may be different - keep an eye on it!)
• Grease the waffle maker, then add around 3/4 cup of batter for large Belgian style waffles. Use 1/2 cup for the flatter, less deep waffle irons.
• Cook until browned and crispy.
• Top with hot chili, sour cream, extra cheese and a little cilantro.
• Devour!

• Preheat your waffle iron.
• Meanwhile, make the chipotle butter. In a small bowl, stir together the softened butter and chipotle peppers until combined.
• Cook the waffles according to your waffle iron's directions.
• To assemble, spread each warm waffle with chipotle butter and then layer on the tomatoes (seasoning them with salt + pepper), bacon + arugula. Add another waffle. Top with tomatoes, arugula and sliced avocado and finish off with a drizzle of maple syrup (DO IT). EAT! :)
