Instructions
 

  • Prep the fillings: Grate the cheddar cheese, dice the cooked ham into small pieces, and finely chop the green onions. Set aside.
    100 Grams cheddar cheese, 75 Grams cooked ham, 2 tablespoons green onions
  • Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Notes

Tips and Tricks
  • Don't overmix: Overmixing the batter can make the waffles dense instead of light and fluffy.
  • Cheese swaps: Try mozzarella, Gruyère, or Swiss cheese for a different flavor.
  • Crispier waffles: Let the waffles cook until deeply golden for extra crisp edges.
  • Make ahead: Keep cooked waffles warm in a low oven (100°C / 210°F) while finishing the batch.
  • Serving ideas: Top with a fried egg, sour cream, avocado, or a drizzle of hot sauce for extra flavor.
