- 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.

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.
