Preparation for this herbaceous twist on a breakfast classic is quite simple
- Grab your favorite box of cornbread (or whip up your own recipe… that’s your call).
- Follow the boxed directions for the batter.
- Add a heaping handful of fragrant herbs and some smooth cheddar to the mix.
- Ladle into preheated waffle iron and cook until golden brown.

Cheddar-Sage Waffles
Depending on your cornbread mix of choice, the first 4 ingredients may vary.
Ingredients:
For the Cornbread Batter:
- 1 (7.5 oz. box) Cornbread Muffin Mix
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
(follow the packaged directions for the box you chose to use)
Additional Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups Sharp Cheddar, shredded
- 1 package of That’s Tasty Fresh Sage, stems removed and chopped (½ cup)
- 1 package of That’s Tasty Fresh Chives, chopped (½ cup)
Directions:
- Combine cornbread mix, eggs, milk and vegetable together in a large bowl. Add cheddar, fresh sage and chives and continue to mix until batter forms.
- Preheat waffle iron and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Ladle batter onto hot waffle iron and cook until golden brown, roughly 3 minutes.
- Enjoy immediately on it’s own or with a smear of butter. (Psst: garlic butter would be bomb!)
To Make Ham & Cheese Waffle-Wiches:
Preheat oven to 400F. After step 3, transfer waffles to a cooling rack and continue to cook the remainder of the waffles until you have as many as you need. When you’re ready to assemble, slather two waffles with mayo (+ horseradish, if desired) and layer with two slices of ham and two slices of provolone. Pop the waffle-which in the oven, on a lined baking sheet, for 5 minutes or until cheese has melted. Enjoy immediately.
Other Serving Suggestions:
- Plop a fried egg on top of that ham & cheese waffle-wich. Mind blown. 🤯
- Upgrade your avocado toast game by using the cheddar-sage waffles as your base.
- Inspire guests at your thanksgiving feast with leftover turkey waffle-wiches! Get creative.
