On the weekends I have been known to sometimes whip up pancakes or waffles for the kids instead of our typical dry cereal and bananas. \u00a0My husband is a ritualistic cereal eater, but if I’ve gone to the trouble to make something special he’ll be a good sport and eat what I’ve made.<\/p>\n

\"Cheddar<\/a><\/p>\n

When I saw this recipe for savory waffles I added what I needed to my grocery list almost immediately and planned to make them the coming weekend. \u00a0When I told Ben I was making waffles he was not expecting these to grace his plate. \u00a0He was a little bothered by them at first but came around and admitted that he’d gladly eat them again as long as he had a heads up that they would not be a plain waffle.<\/p>\n

\"Cheddar<\/p>\n

I love the idea of a savory waffle topped with sweet syrup. \u00a0In fact, I welcome any chance to have maple syrup and bacon or sausage mingle on my breakfast plate. \u00a0If you are also someone who “accidentally” finds that your breakfast meat somehow becomes covered in syrup, then you are going to love these waffles.<\/p>\n

The recipe comes from Fine Cooking. \u00a0The only changes I made were to use regular breakfast sausage instead of the chicken-apple sausage, and a full cup of buttermilk. \u00a0I also used fewer green onions. \u00a0It calls for 6, but I found 2 to be just fine. \u00a0I used a standard waffle iron with great results, but would love to see how these turn out in a Belgian waffle maker. \u00a0Maybe I will have to go get one…<\/p>\n

Be careful not to overfill your waffle iron! \u00a0This is good advice to heed when making any type of waffle, and I almost always screw up. \u00a0I under fill my first couple waffles and then overfill the next ones. \u00a0Cleaning that mess up is no fun. \u00a0One of these days I’ll learn my lesson, or measure my batter better.<\/p>\n

I hope you make and enjoy these! \u00a0Also, if you have a Belgian waffle maker let me know your thoughts. \u00a0Is it worth having one? \u00a0And if so, what brand do you like? \u00a0Thanks!<\/p>\n
