- Choose a cheese that melts easily, such as Colby Jack, Cheddar, or Monterey Jack.
- Deli ham can be substituted with cooked bacon or sausage.
- Substitute almond milk for regular milk - Almond milk is a good alternative for those who are lactose intolerant or vegan. It is also lower in calories and fat than regular milk.
- Substitute olive oil for vegetable oil - Olive oil is a healthier option than vegetable oil because it is high in healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants. It also has a more robust flavor which will enhance the flavor of the waffles.
Veggie Waffles Replace the ham with 1/2 cup of finely chopped vegetables of your choice, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions. Use vegetable oil instead of oil.
Sauteed Asparagus with Garlic - This light and flavorful side dish is the perfect accompaniment to the savory Ham and Cheese Waffles. The asparagus is cooked in a garlic butter sauce, making it a delicious and healthy option.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon: Roasted Brussels sprouts are a classic side dish and a great accompaniment to the Ham and Cheese Waffles. The Brussels sprouts get a delicious smoky flavor from the bacon and a hint of sweetness from the honey, making it a perfect balance of flavors. Plus, it's a healthy and easy-to-make side dish that will make your meal complete.
