Instructions

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Set waffle iron to medium-high heat.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add Cheese and Herbs: Stir in shredded cheese and chopped herbs until coated in the flour mixture.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat eggs, then whisk in milk and oil (or melted butter) until combined.
Mix Batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix—batter should be slightly lumpy.
Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease waffle iron and ladle in batter. Cook for 5–7 minutes, or until waffles are golden and crisp.
Serve: Serve immediately with optional toppings like Greek yogurt, herbs, or avocado slices.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding rosemary, thyme, or dill to the batter.

Use sharp cheddar for bold flavor or feta/goat cheese for a tangy twist.

Keep cooked waffles warm in a 200°F oven on a wire rack until serving.

To make spicy waffles, use pepper jack cheese and add chili flakes.

Leftovers reheat best in the toaster or oven for crispness.
