• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.75 cups milk
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 units large eggs
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
• 0.5 cup mushrooms, diced
• 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup onion, finely diced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and eggs until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the garlic, onion, and mushrooms for 3–4 minutes, until softened.

Step 6

Add the red bell pepper, spinach, black pepper, and ground cumin to the skillet. Cook for another 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Step 7

Grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or a small amount of oil.

Step 8

Pour a thin layer of waffle batter into the waffle iron, just enough to cover the surface.

Step 9

Spoon a thin layer of the vegetable filling onto the batter, leaving a small border around the edges, and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the filling.

Step 10

Top the filling with another layer of waffle batter to completely cover it.

Step 11

Close the waffle iron and cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, usually 4–6 minutes, until the waffle is golden and crisp.

Step 12

Carefully remove the stuffed waffles from the waffle iron and repeat with the remaining batter and filling.

Step 13

Serve stuffed waffles warm, and enjoy!
