Ingredients
  

For the Waffles:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

1 large egg

1 cup whole milk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Sandwich Filling:

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (or your choice of protein)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Additional fresh chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    Prepare the Waffle Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives, stirring until evenly combined.

      Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

        Combine: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

          Cook Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or a little oil. Pour the appropriate amount of batter into the iron (usually about 1/2 to 2/3 cup, depending on your iron) and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter. You should have about 4-6 waffles.

            Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning, if desired.

              Assemble the Sandwiches: Take one waffle and spread a generous amount of the chicken mixture on top. Place another waffle on top to form a sandwich.

                Serve: Cut the sandwich in half and garnish with additional chives if desired. Serve immediately while warm and crispy. Enjoy!
