Ingredients
- 4 cup loosely packed baby spinach roughly chopped
- 4 lices deli ham roughly sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 pinches salt
- 1 to 1 1/4 cup milk
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- Oil spray
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron to medium to medium-dark setting.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine spinach, deli ham slices, and cheddar cheese. Add the flours, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Toss together roughly with kitchen tongs.
- Pour in milk and melted butter and toss everything with kitchen tongs to moisten. The batter will be on the thick side. Add more milk if you prefer a looser batter—but this is not a batter that you pour.
- Oil spray the hot waffle iron if needed. Put a fourth of the waffle batter on the hot waffle iron and close the lid (Flip it upside down if your waffle iron has the feature). Cook until golden and crisp. (Waffle irons vary in cooking time, so adjust the time accordingly.)
- Gently take the waffle out of the iron and place on a wired rack. Serve the waffles with sour cream and hot sauce or other favorite topping.
- To keep these waffles warm, keep them in a warm 175˚F oven while you cook the next one. Make sure to place the waffles on a wire rack to prevent them from getting soggy.
