🧇 How To Make Bobby Flay Cheddar Waffles
- Preheat Belgian waffle maker.
- Mix the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices in a medium bowl using a whisk until everything is well mixed.
- Whisk the egg whites and buttermilk together in a small bowl or a 2-cup glass measuring cup. Add to the dry ingredients and stir with a rubber spatula until there are no more spots of dry ingredients. The mixture may still be a little lumpy, that’s fine. Put in the melted butter.
- You can use an electric mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk tool to beat egg whites. Mix at a medium-high speed until the whites hold soft peaks.
- To lighten the batter, fold in one-third of the egg whites. Then add the rest of the egg whites and fold them in until they are almost completely mixed in. Mix the cheese shreds in.
- Put just under a cup of batter into a waffle maker that has already been cooked. I use a large cookie scoop, and three heaping scoops is just about right. Check the manufacturer’s instructions to see if you need more or less juice for your machine. If you want a sweet waffle, cook for about 5 minutes. When the waffles are deep golden brown and crisp, it’s done. Take it out of the waffle maker and serve it hot.
- You can cool waffles on a wire rack and then put them in a bag that keeps air out for up to three days in the fridge or freeze them for up to three months. Put the waffles back in the oven at 300 degrees for about 10 minutes, or until they are hot all the way through and crispy.
