Whole Wheat Chive Waffles with Poached Egg

Makes: 4

What You Need

• 1½ cups white whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ⅓ cup unsalted butter
• 1½ cups milk
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons chopped chives
• 4 eggs
• Maple syrup
• ¼ cup grated white cheddar cheese

What To Do

1. Heat waffle iron on high heat.
2. In a medium bowl, combine 1½ cups white whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon kosher salt; mix to combine.
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt ⅓ cup butter. Add 1½ cups milk and microwave for another minute. Whisk 1 egg into to the wet ingredients until fully combined.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not over-mix (batter can be lumpy).
5. Chop 2 tablespoons chives; reserve extra chives for a garnish. Add 2 tablespoons chives to the dough.
6. Add the batter to the heated waffle iron and cook the waffles until golden brown. Remove the cooked waffles and place on a baking sheet without stacking. Place in the oven to keep warm.
7. Meanwhile, poach the eggs.
8. When ready to serve, place the waffle on a plate and drizzle with a bit of maple syrup. Top with a poached egg, additional chopped chives, and grated white cheddar cheese.
