Instructions

1

Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In another container, whisk the eggs with the milk and the cooled melted butter.

Tip: Make sure the butter isn't hot, or it might scramble the eggs.
2

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and whisk until just combined and lump-free. Do not overmix.

Tip: Overmixing develops gluten, making the waffles rubbery instead of tender.
3

Preheat the waffle iron, lightly grease it, and bake the waffles until golden brown.

Tip: The waffle is done when it stops steaming intensely.
4

While baking, break the cheeses into pieces and toast the walnuts in a dry pan.

Tip: Toasting releases the essential oils in the nuts, enhancing their flavor.
5

Top the hot waffles with the cheeses and toasted walnuts, then drizzle with honey. Serve immediately.

Tip: The heat of the waffle will soften the cheeses just enough to make them creamy without melting completely.

Recipe FAQ

Why did the waffle stick?
The iron wasn't hot enough, or there wasn't enough fat in the batter or on the cooking surface.
Can I substitute the cheeses?
Any melting cheese works, but the flavor profile will change.
