Author Notes
I took my favorite buttermilk waffle recipe from King Aruthur and made it savory, adding chives and cheddar to the waffles and smothering with white gravy made with spring onions and bacon. I suggest serving this with a pork chop and start the diet the next day! —sdebrango
What You'll Need
Ingredients
- Gravy
- 6 spring onions chopped using the white and light green
- 6-8 slices thick cut bacon cut into bite size pieces
- 1/4 cup
2 tbs flour - 2 1/2 cupshalf and half or milk
- OPTIONAL: 1/2 tsp chopped rosemary (I like it if I am serving pork chops)
- Waffles
- 2 large eggs separated
- 1 3/4 -2 cupsbuttermilk (start with 1 3/4 cup if you need more add if too thick)
- 1/2 cup1 stick melted butter
- 1 cupgrated cheddar cheese
- 3 tablespoonschopped chives
- 1 1/2 cupsall purpose flour
- 1/4 cupcake flour
- 2 teaspoonsbaking powder
- 1 teaspoonbaking soda
- 1/2 teaspoonsalt
Directions
- Gravy
- Fry the bacon bits in saute pan until browned, remove from pan and save the fat you will use that for the gravy. Turn flame to med/low and add the spring onion (and optional rosemary) and saute until the onions are soft and translucent then add the flour, whisk until it's combined with the fat and let cook for 2 minutes stirring constantly. Whisk in half and half or milk and add the bacon let cook until it thickens, add salt and pepper. Pour over the waffles and garnish with chives.
- Waffles
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat together the egg yolks, buttermilk and melted butter add the cheddar cheese and chives and stir to combine. In another bowl whisk together the dry ingredients. Whip the egg whites until they form a peak, don't overbeat but they should be quite stiff. Combine the wet and dry ingredients just until almost smooth, now fold in the egg whites. Heat waffle iron, spray with cooking spray or brush with oil or butter and cook the waffles according to the directions for your waffle maker.

I have loved to cook for as long as I can remember, am self taught learning as I go. I come from a large Italian family and food was at the center of almost every gathering. My grandfather made his own wine and I remember the barrels of wine in the cellar of my grandfathers home, I watched my mother and aunts making homemade pasta and remember how wonderful it was to sit down to a truly amazing dinner. Cooking for me is a way to express myself its my creative outlet. I enjoy making all types of food but especially enjoy baking, I live in Brooklyn, NY, and I share my home with my two dogs Izzy and Nando. I like to collect cookbooks and scour magazines and newspapers for recipes. I hope one day to organize them.

I still have yet to try the whole gravy with breakfast foods thing. But, with this one, I think you've got me sold. Totally off the hook.
