Cheese Waffles for breakfast, lunch or dinner

Cheese Waffles Recipe from Lucy Loves Food Blog

Cheese Waffles Recipe

To continue on the theme of being a total lockdown bore, all meals in our house seemed to have merged into one. Breakfast has rather become obsolete as either George doesn’t surface til lunchtime, Clyde’s gone off to work or I’m mainlining coffee for mine. Lunch is the new breakfast with some sort of mid afternoon meal making an appearance as well. This is where Cheese Waffles step up to the plate. They are crisp, cheesy and divine and can be served at pretty much any time of the day or night.

I love our waffle maker. I think I inherited it from work, but they are quite cheap to buy and ours gets used a lot. Fried Chicken and Waffles is a family favourite and Ben went through a phase of cooking pretty much anything that wasn’t nailed down in the waffle maker. On discovering the joys of Cheese Waffles thanks to my favourite Food 52, I decided if I had to live on one food for a whole week, these were the fellas. They are crisp, so cheesy, and you can top them with all sorts of tasty bits and bobs. Smashed avo for the millenials or bacon and maple syrup for those with a bit of class. The batter is whipped up in minutes and if you don’t eat them all at once *unlikely* you can reheat them briefly at some later stage and they are still bloody good. If you don’t have a waffle machine or can’t face buying another gadget, I don’t see why these wouldn’t be just as good in pancake form.

All bets are off when it comes to rules at the moment, so on my advice, it is perfectly acceptable to eat these Cheese Waffles for breakfast, lunch and dinner. No judgement will be made.

Nothing challenging here unless you’re still struggling to get flour. We’re lucky enough to have quite a few lovely local shops selling it near us, so we’re living our best flour based lives. I went for Red Leicester cheese for my waffles, as it’s George’s total favourite. But, go with whatever you have to hand, as long as it’s on the strong side.

Make a start by warming up and buttering/oiling your waffle maker. Or, if you don’t have one, get a large frying pan ready.

Melt your butter in a pan on the stove or small bowl in the microwave. Once melted pop to the side for the moment.

Now, measure your flour, salt and baking powder into a small bowl.

In a large bowl, whisk the milk and eggs together.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the milk and egg mixture, whisking as you go, until you have a smoothish batter.

Pour in the melted butter and whisk again. Then pour in around 100 to 150ml of water, or until your batter has the consistency of single cream.

In a final flourish, fold in the grated cheese.

Now you’re ready to waffle. My machine takes around 125ml of batter per waffle and took around 4 to 5 minutes before it was crisp and golden. Use a bit of trial and error to work out the best batter to waffle ratio.

Keep your waffles warm in a low oven while you finish the batch. I got around 6 from mine, but I ate a couple along the way *I challenge you not to*.

I cooked some lovely crispy bacon to go with mine and just a splash of maple syrup, but it’s totally up to you which way you go with these. Or just eat them hot from the waffle maker. They’re bloody delicious.

Cheese Waffles Recipe

Makes 6 to 8, depending on your waffle maker

You will just need bowls and a waffle maker/iron or frying pan

125g butter, melted

210g plain flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt, use less if you have a salty cheese

2 eggs

200ml milk

100-150ml water

100g strong cheese, I used Red Leicester, grated

All the sides to serve, for example, bacon, maple syrup, fried eggs, avocado, grilled tomatoes, you decide

Make a start by turning your waffle maker on and spraying it or brushing on a little oil.

Melt the butter in a small pan or microwave it briefly. In a small bowl measure in the flour, baking powder and salt, then whisk to combine. In a large bowl beat the eggs and the milk. Gradually whisk in the flour mixture, bit by bit, mixing as you go, until you have added all the flour and have a smooth-ish batter.

Whisk in the melted butter, then pour in enough water so batter is the consistency of single cream. Fold in the grated cheese of your choice.

Pour the batter into your waffle machine, how much you use will depend on the size of your model. I used around 125ml per waffle then cook according to your machines instructions. Mine took around 4 to 5 minutes to cook to golden, cheesy perfection. Keep warm while you finish the rest of the waffles.

Serve, piping hot with the toppings of your choice. Bacon and maple syrup were just perfect for us.
