Different take on waffles that will make you wonder why you haven’t been eating them every morning. Savory waffles made with smoked cheddar cheese and scallions.

Waffles are so much fun. I love making waffles but it is definitely a weekend breakfast. Experimenting with waffles can be very interesting. I’ve tried various fruity waffles and chocolate waffles but I haven’t tried savory waffles. Even my hubby was a little thrown off by waffles not being sweet. He got over it pretty quickly once he tried it. Its different, but so good!

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups low fat buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp white granulated sugar

  • 8 cooked crispy bacon strips chopped

  • Tip: It’s best to let your cold ingredients like eggs and buttermilk get to room temperature. Take out the eggs and measure out the buttermilk. Let it sit on the counter for about 30 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs vigorously for a few seconds.
  • Whisk in the melted butter, buttermilk, sugar and salt.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and carefully whisk until combined.
  • Fold in the chopped crispy bacon and green onion.
  • Let the batter sit for 10-15 minutes while preheating the waffle maker. 
  • Lightly grease the waffle maker with oiled paper towel (not a cooking spray) and cook waffles in a waffle maker per your waffle maker’s instructions.

  1. Hi! I look forward to trying this, approximately how many waffles does the recipe make? Thanks!

    1. Hey Carlee! It’s always hard to estimate how many waffles because people use different shape and size waffle makers. In my round waffle maker, it’s about 4 large waffles.

    I absolutely love your recipe! I am writing vegetarian recipe round ups on my blog in 2018 (to encourage people to try meatless monday- everyone has to start somewhere) and would love to feature you. You can check out my blog (for beginner environmentalists) at sunshineguerrilla.com. Is it alright if I share this link to your recipe?

    1. Hello Barbara! You can definitely include this in your round-up just please don’t share the actual recipe. A link back and a photo is totally fine 🙂

  3. This is wonderful. Thanks for linking to Saturday Dishes.

    These look like a good savory waffle! You’ve already got the green, just use some Irish cheddar, and they’d be perfect for St. Paddy’s. 🙂
