Waffles taste amazing, the crispy outside with a nice and fluffy inside…Waffles are just amazing. But I’m super excited about today’s video because I decided to add Spinach and Cheese to my Waffles one day and that was one of the most delicious things I’ve ever tasted!

The Spinach adds so much flavor and the cheese, well I don’t need to say how much better Cheese makes things taste! This is really for pretty much any meal of the day. You can have with breakfast with some poached or fried eggs, have it for lunch as the bread for a sandwich or you can even just grab it and take a bit out of it straight from the Waffle Iron (I did that and I do recommend it)

This Cheese & Spinach Waffle recipe is fairly easy and quick to make at home and they come out quite light and fluffy but still with that Waffle feeling with a nice and light golden brown crust. You just need to try it out and see it for yourself!

Instructions

Place all the dry ingredients into a bowl, use a whisk to mix it all together.
Add the melted butter, yogurt and egg and whisk it in really well.
Slowly add the buttermilk until it is fully combined.
Add the shredded cheese and spinach last and fold it in with a spatula.
Warm up the waffle iron. Once it is hot, scoop so batter into the waffle iron. Don't put too much!
Let it get nice and golden brown and then it is ready to be served.

Tips

The batter shouldn't be runny but also not hard. Watch my youtube video for full explanation. It should be somewhat spreadable.
Don't put too much batter on the waffle iron, this will make it leak off the machine and it will become too thick, so the inside will be raw while the outside is golden brown.

  I added a half tsp of white vinegar to the milk, stirred it and let it sit for five minutes as I also did not have buttermilk. I also used MONTEREY JACK cheese that I had on hand. All came out delicious. I will make it often and serve fresh fruit with it. Thank you, creative person, you 😍

  Hi RoseMarie, you can use whole milk it just won't be as fluffy but it will work. If you would like to make a substitution for the buttermilk, you can use for every cup of whole milk, 1 table spoon of lemon juice. Warm up the milk, not too hot and add the lemon juice. Let it sit for about 5mins and then just mix it together

Is it possible that using raw spinach that retains all of its moisture may make the waffles limp and soggy?

  My waffle was more crispy than normal. Delicious.

  Hi Archie, no the raw spinach won't affect the texture of the waffles. It still comes out pretty crispy!
