cheddar & scallion waffles

I know what you’re thinking. And trust me, I was skeptical too. That is, until my first bite, when I realized how amazingly delicious these waffles are! I don’t think I ever imagined that I could enjoy cheddar and scallions on the same plate as maple syrup, but here we are. These waffles are the perfect combination of savory and sweet, and taste very sophisticated, even though they are incredibly simple to make. Just looking at the picture is making me want to make them again! They are definitely a new favorite for weekend breakfasts!
