Ingredients You’ll need to make Savoury Corn and Cheese Waffles
Savoury waffles are generally made of flour, eggs, and milk like their sweet counterparts, but the similarities end here. Unlike sweet waffles, savoury waffles generally include some sort of veggies for flavour and crunch.
Corn: Frozen corn – both coarsely ground and whole kernelsSpring onions: Finely chopped spring onion greens for freshness and flavour. Sub with coriander in a pinch.Capsicum: Finely chopped for lots of texture and a slight heat in every bite. Cheese: A combination of cheddar and mozzarella is my favourite but processed cheese also works really wellItalian seasoning: For a herby flavourSalt: For flavour and seasoning. Sugar: An expected ingredient, but it really helps enhance the corn-iness of the wafflesFlour: Both whole wheat and all purpose flour. You can play around with the proportions but I went halfsiesBaking powder: Just a pinch helps make the batter fluffy and the waffles, airy and crispy. Egg: 1 whole egg to bind the mixture together Milk: Helps thin out the batter and adds a creaminess to the whole dish.
What to put on savoury waffles?
Most common ideas for savoury waffle toppings include sour cream, bacon, avocados, tomatoes, and green sauce. You can even add caramelised onions, sauteed mushrooms, grated cheddar cheese, and cream cheese. My favourite thing about these healthy waffles is that with the right kind of toppings, these could pass off as a wholesome meal. Believe me when I tell you that just one bite of these easy savoury waffles will have you craving them every Sunday morning. My best tip would be to make extras, because these disappear really fast!
Richa’s top tips to make the best Corn Cheese Waffles:
Don’t worry if you don’t have a waffle maker. You can easily pour this batter over a hot pan and turn it into a pancake. You can customise the veggies – some other veggies to try include cabbage, onions, grated carrots, spinach, grated zucchinis and bell peppers to make this dish even more nutrient dense. If you are adding grated veggies like zucchinis and bell peppers, make sure to squeeze out the excess water to prevent the batter from becoming too runny.
