Ok, maybe not everything, but most things bread related are better with gruyere. Honestly, I don't know why so many people bother with cheddar. Not to dis cheddar or anything... The point is cheese. Cheese is just good. And when you add it to things that are already good, they just get better. Pancakes for instance. Pancakes are good. Add some ricotta: your pancakes are now awesome. The same basic principle applies to waffles. Waffles are good. Gruyere waffles are even better.
So for this, I took a recipe titled "everyday waffles" from an ordinary cookbook (Better Homes and Gardens...) and then added a cup or so of shredded gruyere (so simple, right?).
ingredients:
1 3/4 cups flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups milk
1/2 cup oil or shortening (be real. use butter.)
1- 1 1/2 cups shredded gruyere
You can really put as much cheese in these as you want to. As long as you have a non-stick waffle maker, I am confident that you will have absolutely no problem. Anyway, for these you'll want to sift together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt) and in a separate bowl beat the eggs well, add the milk, melted butter or oil and then slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. I always add the cheese after everything else is well mixed together. Then bake in a hot waffle iron. This recipe makes around 8 waffles.
