Savory Gluten-Free Cheddar & Chive Waffles
These savory gluten-free waffles are a delicious alternative to sweet waffles. Packed with cheddar cheese and fresh chives, they're perfect for a brunch main course or a unique side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
- 2 Large Eggs
- 4 tablespoons Melted Butter or Olive Oil
- 1 ½ cups Milk (Dairy or Non-Dairy)
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Chives, chopped
Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter (or olive oil), and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives.
Heat the Waffle Iron
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a little melted butter/olive oil.
Cook the Waffles
Pour the batter onto the hot waffle iron, using the amount recommended by the manufacturer. Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually around 3-5 minutes. Cooking time will vary depending on your waffle iron.
Serve
Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and serve immediately. These are delicious on their own or topped with sour cream, chives, or a fried egg.
