Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tbsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

¼ cup fresh chives, finely chopped

1 ¾ cups buttermilk

2 large eggs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Optional fillings: sliced cooked bacon, avocado, or scrambled eggs

Instructions
 

Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions. If you have a non-stick spray, lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

      Add Cheese and Chives: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.

        Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until fully blended.

          Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

            Cook Waffles: Ladle the appropriate amount of batter into the preheated waffle iron (amount may vary based on your iron). Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, usually around 4-5 minutes.

              Assemble Sandwiches: Once cooked, carefully remove the waffles. You can use them immediately or keep them warm in a low oven. For assembling, take one waffle, add your choice of fillings such as bacon, avocado, or scrambled eggs, and top with a second waffle to create a sandwich.

                Serve: Cut the sandwiches in half to reveal the delicious fillings and serve warm. Enjoy with a side of your favorite dipping sauce or a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick!
