Ever have a craving for waffles and think – oh they are too much trouble? they’re not worth taking out the waffle iron? Well, you haven’t had these Savory Cheddar Sage Waffles – savory, cheesy, herby, and oh so delicious! Waffles are a big trend lately, in restaurant menus, hotel breakfasts, and even home cooks are thinking outside the box and making some magnificent waffles. Flavor combinations is what it’s all about and will a good waffle base,y you’ll go far. This particular recipe is a mix of both all purpose and whole wheat flour, the perfect balance of great texture and good health benefits.

And what makes these waffles extra delicious is the use of the world’s best cheddar, also known as Cabot Cheddar and lately I’ve been loving the Alpine Cheddar from their new Farmers’ Legacy Collection. A creamy, subtle Swiss and Italian Alpine Cheddar with a slight “grana” texture similar to Parmesan. It’ seriously the best cheddar cheese ever guys – head to your nearest store and grab some ASAP. You won’t regret it.
