Ingredients
Yield:4 servings
- 2cups waffle and pancake mix
- 2eggs
- 2cups milk
- 2tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper
- ¾cup grated rennet-free Parmesan cheese
- ½cup grated rennet-free Gruyère or similar cheese
Preparation
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 200 degrees and place a waiting plate to warm inside. Heat a waffle maker until a flick of water beads and bounces around.
- Step 2
In a bowl, add waffle mix, eggs, milk, oil, salt and pepper, and mix until just combined, adding more milk if the mix is too thick. It should be the consistency of pudding. Then fold in the cheeses.
- Step 3
Lightly butter the waffle maker, and spoon judicious dollops of the mix onto the center of the hot waffle iron and spread just a bit. The mix will spread when the lid closes and expand as it cooks, so adding too much will be a bit messy as it bubbles out the sides.
- Step 4
As the waffles finish, use a fork to lift them off and put them in the oven to stay warm while the rest are made. Waffles are best served warm. Freeze any leftover waffles to enjoy later.

What waffle mix? You jumped a crucial step it seems.

Why rennet-free cheese? Fine for vegetarians, but it seems like a strange detail that unnecessarily complicated a recipe, especially one that calls ‘waffle mix’ an ingredient.
Joanna
This recipe worked great, but I would recommend keeping an eye out and taking them out when they're golden. My waffle maker's timer overcooked them a little. Also be sure to tell your spouse that you're making savory waffles early on in the process, or he/she might pour maple syrup on theirs before you can tell them, like mine did!

Used premade waffle mix to save time per the instructions. Chose a protein-whole wheat brand. Threw in some leftover veggies and cheese and voila it came out as expected. To contrast the savory with sweet I drizzled some hot honey over it and crumbled veggie bacon on the top. It was deliciously sweet and salty. Would be excellent with chicken next time.

Why mention using a mix instead of "use a mix or X flour + Y sale + Z baking powder..."? This makes it appear that a mix is required instead of just a shortcut. And why not give a variety of recommended combos, not just parm & gruyere? I'm thinking of an okonomiyaki- or takoyaki*-waffle mash-up. *Takoyaki are these tasty little round waffles with octopus, aonori & shaved fish sold at Japanese street fairs.

I was so excited to make this until I saw it requires a mix. How odd. Wonder if an alternate version using standard ingredients could be posted? I’m working abroad and there is no pancake mix to be found...

And you don't want a store bought mix as they usually have sugar added

What is rennet free? Why is this specification necessary?
Lucy
It make the pancakes vegetarian. If you don't care about that, you can use regular cheese.

Love this idea of savory waffles. Used Pioneer brand waffle mix, and I folded in 2 whipped egg whites just before cooking to make them lighter...worked out great. The waffles do freeze well and have become a go-to snack, just pop em in the toaster. I am imagining they will be a perfect foil for creamed anything, lobster newberg, crawfish e'toufee, shrimp alfredo...the list goes on and on.

I used Snoqualmie Falls pancake and waffle mix, and these turned out wonderfully! The recipe is fabulous as is, but on my second go-around, I added a quarter teaspoon of freshly chopped rosemary for a savory pine-y kick, and was not disappointed. These waffles freeze exceptionally well. To reheat, just toast in the oven at 350*F, directly on the rack for about 10 minutes.

I agree. But I have a recipe for Master Baking Mix from the More with Less cookbook (Doris Janzen Longacre). Sift together 3 times: 10 c flour 6 T baking powder 1 1/2 T salt 1 1/2 t cream of tartar 1/4 c sugar Cut in to the consistency of cornmeal: 2 c vegetable shortening Optional, for higher protein products: Stir in: 2 c dry milk powder Store in covered container at room temperature. To measure baking mix, pile lightly into a cup and level off with spatula.
