Recipe for Rosemary and Cheddar Buttermilk Waffles, a savory breakfast dish topped with a spicy Remoulade sauce. Servings consist of either 8 small square waffles or 2 large Belgium waffles.
This recipe was inspired by a rosemary biscuit sandwich I keep ordering at the local coffee shop. I decided to add cheddar to my rosemary buttermilk biscuit batter, (say that 5 times fast-“buttermilk biscuit batter”) with a thinner consistency and test the outcome in my waffle maker. Man that was a long sentence, ok moving on. The result I must say was 8 evenly baked, yummy savory waffles in just 16 min.

What to serve with Savory Waffles?
So glad you asked..well, I made a spicy Remoulade sauce to spread on your waffles. Also, an over easy egg is great for dipping. I mean while we’re at it, you could make a waffle sandwich with bacon, egg, and avocado. Yes, that sounds good too!
What is Remoulade Sauce?
Remoulade is a cajun inspired mayonnaise based sauce that is used for fish, bread, and veggie dips. The spice level totally depends on your personal preference.

Instructions
Waffle Batter
- Combine all ingredients into a medium sized bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon until well mixed.
- The batter will be thicker than regular waffle/pancake batter but if looks very dry, just add some more buttermilk. Do not add so much buttermilk that its runny. (should look like biscuit dough)
- Spray waffle iron with non stick coconut oil spray.
- Spoon batter into each waffle section ( or ¾ of entire circle for large single round waffle).
- Batter will be thick so press down to cover enough surface area for waffle.
- Close lid and let bake for 7-8 min. max.
- Remove waffles and serve warm.
Remoulade Sauce
- Combine all ingredients together in a small bowl. Whisk thoroughly to create a pinkish mayo like consistency.

I’m excited to try this savory version of my favorite food! I think my husband will like it better than the traditional sweet version, especially with the spicy remoulade sauce. Random question: where did you find that darling wooden spreader/knife in the second picture? I love it!
