- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup shredded cheese Gruyere, Comté, or Cheddar
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Waffle Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour and baking powder to prevent lumps.
- Add salt and pepper, then mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk and melted butter until well combined.
- Gradually add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients while whisking to create a smooth batter.
- Fold in the shredded cheese and chopped chives, mixing gently to distribute them evenly.
Step 2: Preheat the Waffle Iron
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Lightly grease the plates with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
Step 3: Cook the Waffles
- Pour a small ladle of batter onto each section of the waffle iron.
- Close the lid and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, until the waffles are golden brown.
- Keep the cooked waffles warm while preparing the rest.
Step 4: Serve the Waffles
- Place the waffles on a plate and serve them hot.
- Garnish with extra chives and, if desired, pair them with a dipping sauce like sour cream, Greek yogurt, or a light cheese sauce.
