Deliciously crispy Cornbread Waffle Bites infused with smoky Gouda cheese and a touch of honey for sweetness. These savory and sweet bites make a perfect appetizer or snack, combining the comforting flavors of classic cornbread with the unique texture of waffles.

Ingredients

Scale

Cornbread Batter

  • 1 cup cornbread mix (or homemade cornbread batter)
  • 1/2 cup smoked Gouda cheese, grated
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted

For Cooking and Serving

  • Olive oil or non-stick spray (for greasing the waffle iron)
  • Honey (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease the waffle iron with olive oil or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Batter with Cheese: In a medium bowl, prepare the cornbread batter by combining cornbread mix, egg, milk, and melted butter. Stir in the grated smoked Gouda cheese thoroughly to evenly distribute the cheese through the batter.
  3. Cook Waffle Bites: Spoon the cornbread batter into the preheated waffle iron, filling each section about halfway to allow space for the batter to rise. Close the lid and cook for 2-3 minutes until the waffle bites are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  4. Remove and Plate: Carefully remove the cooked waffle bites from the iron using a fork or spatula and place them on a serving plate. This prevents them from becoming soggy and keeps them crispy.
  5. Serve with Honey: Drizzle honey generously over the warm waffle bites just before serving to add a delightful balance of sweetness to the smoky, savory flavor. Enjoy them warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For best results, use a non-stick waffle iron to avoid sticking.
  • You can substitute smoked Gouda with other firm cheeses like sharp cheddar or fontina.
  • Adjust honey quantity to your taste preference or omit for a purely savory bite.
  • Serve with a side of spicy mustard or creamy dip for additional flavor variations.
  • These bites can be kept warm in a low oven but are best eaten fresh for optimal texture.
