Ingredients

Ingredients

For Waffle:

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp Parmesan
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp cumin
  • 1/8 tsp chili powder
  • 1/8 tsp smoked paprika
  • Pinch chipotle pepper
  • 1/8 tsp pepper

  • 1 slice cheddar cheese not processed or 1 oz shredded
  • 1 slice pepper jack cheese not processed or 1 oz shredded

Instructions

Instructions

For Waffle:

  1. In Ninja or Magic Bullet, add all ingredients up to the cheese. Blend until light yellow and bubbly. The batter will be very thin.
  2. Allow to rest for 5 minutes. This helps to allow time for the tiny bubbles to dissipate a bit, so there won't be as many air pockets in the waffle.
  3. While batter is resting, preheat waffle maker.
  4. Once waffle maker is heated, pour batter into waffle maker. The batter is enough for 1 large waffle. If your waffle maker is smaller, adjust accordingly. Close lid and wait for light to indicate it's done, or approximately 5-8 minutes. 

  5. Remove waffle and allow to cool for a few minutes.

Wafflewich Assembly:

  1. Separate waffle into 4 parts. The large waffle makers create sections that are meant to be pulled apart. 

  2. Fold each cheese slice diagonally across, then tear into 2 triangles. Place 1 triangle of each cheese together.
  3. Place the combined cheese triangles on 2 of the waffle sections, then top with the other two sections, forming 2 wafflewiches.
  4. Heat butter in a medium sized skillet.
  5. Add both wafflewiches to the pan and cook on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side until cheese is melted.
  6. Remove from pan and enjoy.

Recipe Notes

Waffle will not be as crispy as normal waffles. I like to cook mine a little longer in the waffle maker to get them firmer. 

If you have a smaller waffle maker and it's not in sections, you will want to keep waffle in once piece and keep cheese slices whole as well.
