Recipe: Cheddar Cornbread Waffle BLT with Chipotle Butter



Wow - this was as good as the title of the recipe sounds. Restaurant worthy (it could be served at a restaurant), and I enjoyed every single bite. Each bite had some much flavor and texture!

Ingredients: buttermilk, sharp cheddar, bacon, tomatoes, arugula, avocado corn kernels, jalapeno, eggs, all-purpose flour, stoneground cornmeal, honey, baking powder, salt, Kosher salt, pepper, maple syrup, salted butter, chipotle chiles in adobo

Tips/Notes:
  • Lightly char the corn next time to give yet another dimension of flavor/texture
  • We would've liked more spice (the jalapeno was not hot) so have a couple of jalapenos and/or a serrano on hand
  • This recipe made 6 waffles
  • Great with a bourbon cocktail!
