Savory Waffles

I prefer savory to sweet, so I created this recipe, using fresh herbs from our garden and green garlic that came in our CSA share this spring. (Tis the season to pick up green garlic at the farmer’s market.)

Feel free to change out the herbs. Try cilantro, chili and lemon or lime zest. Add chipotle if you’d like. The variations are endless.

P.S. I sprang for a waffle boat maker. Savory waffles topped with vegetables simmered in a cream/alfredo sauce = divine dinner.

Savory Waffles
Ingredients
2 c. flour
1 c. cornmeal
2 1/4 t. baking powder
1/2 stick melted butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk/buttermilk
4 oz. (1 cup) shredded cheese
2 tablespoons minced onion
4 slices bacon, crumbled (optional, of course, unless your name is @ronjon)
2 tablespoon each, finely chopped: fresh parsley, rosemary, chives, (green garlic if available)
1 fat garlic clove, minced
sparkling water or cider

Directions
1. Mix dry ingredients.
2. Mix wet ingredients: eggs, milk. herbs, garlic.
3. Combine wet and dry and add bacon and cheese.
4. Add sparkling water or cider until mix is a thick flow. If you don’t have these on hand, just add more milk.

Topping ideas:

• goat cheese and pastrami or smoked turkey or oven-roasted veggies for an “open sandwich”
• top with alfredo sauce with broccoli
