Savory Ham and Cheese Waffles
Savory yeasted waffles recipe, makes 5 waffles if using a Belgian-style waffle iron and 8 waffles using a standard iron
- Prep Time: 12 hours
- Total Time: 12 hours
- Yield: 6 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 3/4 cup 2% or whole milk
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 envelope (1/4 ounce) dry yeast
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup grated sharp Cheddar
- 1/2 cup minced ham
- 2 tablespoons minced chives or green onion tops
Instructions
- Melt butter and add milk. Set aside.
- Whisk flour, sugar, salt and yeast together in a large bowl.
- Whisk in milk and butter until just combined.
- Add eggs and whisk until eggs are fully incorporated. It’s okay if the batter is still a little lumpy.
- Cover and refrigerate 12-24 hours. (Between you and me and the ‘frigerator, up to 48 hours is fine.)
- When ready to cook waffles, stir in cheese, ham and chives. (Have your oven warming at 200ºF for holding cooked waffles.)
- Cook according to waffle iron instructions, with a Belgian or American style waffle iron. You will get fewer, thicker waffles if using a Belgian waffle iron and more, thinner ones using an American style iron.
- Keep waffles warm on a rack on a baking sheet in the oven for up to 30 minutes.
- Serve topped with fried or poached eggs, Hollandaise sauce or a compound butter. Or with butter and syrup!
Notes
If you prefer, you can make sweet yeasted waffled by increasing the sugar to 1 tablespoon and omitting the ham, cheese and chives. Instead, add a cup of frozen blueberries to the batter right before cooking.
