Editorial Notes

The ingredient tips, suggestions, variations, facts, questions and answers below are not edits to the original author's recipe. They are not meant to imply any change would improve the recipe.

  • 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.

This makes for a tasty breakfast for dinner waffle! We tried it on its own with maple syrup and as part of "chicken and waffles" and it sure was good both ways. Love the cheese and ham in these. Thank you, Dienia, for sharing.
