Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup cornmeal
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 1.25 cups milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup diced red bell pepper
• 1 sliced avocado
• 1 sliced tomato
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
• 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced red bell pepper.

Step 5

Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter.

Step 6

Pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the waffle iron and spread slightly. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and dijon mustard. Set aside.

Step 8

To assemble the sandwiches, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise-mustard mixture on one side of two waffles.

Step 9

Layer fresh spinach leaves, sliced avocado, and sliced tomato on top of the mayo-mustard mixture on one waffle.

Step 10

Top with another waffle, sauce side down, to form a sandwich. Repeat to make additional sandwiches.

Step 11

Cut each waffle sandwich in half and serve immediately.
