Ingredients
- Cornbread mix (or homemade cornbread batter)
- Smoked Gouda cheese, grated
- Egg
- Milk
- Butter, melted
- Honey (for drizzling)
- Olive oil or non-stick spray (for greasing the waffle iron)
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease with olive oil or non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, prepare the cornbread batter according to the package instructions (or use your favorite homemade cornbread recipe). Add the grated smoked Gouda cheese to the batter and mix well.
- Spoon the cornbread batter into the preheated waffle iron, filling each section about halfway. Close the lid and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove the waffle bites from the waffle iron and set them on a serving plate.
- Drizzle with honey just before serving to add a touch of sweetness to the savory waffles. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Feel free to substitute the smoked Gouda with another type of cheese, such as sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack, for different flavor profiles.
- These cornbread waffle bites are delicious as appetizers, snack bites, or a side dish to fried chicken or BBQ.
- If you don’t have a waffle iron, you can cook the cornbread batter in a skillet to make individual small cornbread cakes, though the texture may differ slightly.
