This is a very hardy breakfast, or lunch, or dinner… up to you. The recipe gives you the ingredients to make the cornmeal waffles, it is up to you what you top them with. My choice was chili, and a nice sunny-side-up egg. FYI: Because of how these waffles are made, they can be frozen, and reheated when needed. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make breakfast essentials: cornmeal waffles with chili

  • Step 1
    PREP/PREPARE
  • Step 2
    Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • Step 3
    Whisk the wet ingredients (milk, egg, melted butter), in a small bowl.
  • Step 4
    Combine the dry ingredients (flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt), in another bowl.
  • Step 5
    Chef’s Note: Add the optional ingredients, if using.
  • Step 6
    Add the dry ingredients to the wet.
  • Step 7
    Whisk to combine.
  • Step 8
    Allow the ingredients to rest for 10 minutes. This will give the cornmeal the chance to absorb some of the liquid.
  • Step 9
    Prep your waffle iron.
  • Step 10
    Add about a 1/4 cup of batter to the waffle iron.
  • Step 11
    Chef's Note: The amount of batter used will be determined by the size of your waffle iron.
  • Step 12
    Cook until nice and toasty.
  • Step 13
    PLATE/PRESENT
  • Step 14
    Add some of your favorite savory toppings. I chose some good homemade chili, and a nice sunny-side-up egg. Enjoy.
  • Step 15
    Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
