Savoury Waffles

I was given a waffle maker some time ago and have usually associated it with high-fat, high-sugar toppings like ice-cream & golden syrup (yum!)  So a couple of weeks ago I just randomly thought that there must be savoury waffles out there!  I found this recipe here and it was superb! I added boiled eggs and ham (which weren't really necessary - the waffles were filling enough) and it was a very delicious weekend treat!

Ingredients
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup polenta
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
1/3 cup melted unsalted butter
2 large eggs
1 1/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup finely grated cheddar cheese
3 tablespoons chopped chives
2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Directions
Preheat a waffle maker on medium-high heat according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, polenta, baking powder, baking soda, black pepper, and salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, butter and buttermilk. Stir in the grated cheese. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, then add the chives and parsley. Stir until just incorporated. Try not to over-mix the batter.

Cook according to your waffle machine instructions.

Garnish with extra chives and parsley and serve immediately with bacon and fried eggs. Add a dollop of sour cream if you wish.
