Rosemary Cheddar Buttermilk Waffles

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.

Why Savory Waffles are Awesome!

• Turn your favorite biscuit and pizza flavors into a breakfast dish.
• Make a waffle sandwich with all your favorite brunch items. (bacon, eggs, sausage, ham, avocado)
• Each waffle comes out same size and consistency.
• Savory waffles pair with gravy and spicy sauces.
• Sometime you just need a break from the sweets!

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.

Ingredients

Waffle Batter

• 2 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 cups buttermilk more if needed
• 1/2 cup melted and cooled unsalted butter
• 1 1/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tablespoon baking powder

• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tsps dill pickle juice

Instructions

Waffle Batter

1. Combine all ingredients into a medium sized bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon until well mixed.
2. 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)
3. Spray waffle iron with non stick coconut oil spray.
4. Spoon batter into each waffle section ( or 3/4 of entire circle for large single round waffle).
5. Batter will be thick so press down to cover enough surface area for waffle.
6. Close lid and let bake for 7-8 min. max.
7. Remove waffles and serve warm.

Remoulade Sauce

1. Combine all ingredients together in a small bowl. Whisk thoroughly to create a pinkish mayo like consistency.
