Savory Tater Tot Buttermilk Waffles
Ingredients
- 2 cups boxed Pancake + Waffle mix
- 2 fresh farm eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh rosemary minced
- 1/3 teaspoon thyme minced
- 1/3 cup peppercorn block cheese grated
- 1 1/4 cup buttermilk room temperature
- 3/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- 4-5 tater tots per waffle
- Pro Tip: For best results allow the buttermilk and eggs to come to room temperature no more than 30 minutes before adding it to the waffle mix. Room temperature milk and eggs will allow the waffles to rise. Also, do not over mix the waffle batter, mix until the ingredients are just combined, overmixing will make the waffles tough. For this recipe, allow the tater-tots to and block cheese to reach room temperature as well. Grate the cheese before and set it aside.
