Introduction

Corn and Cheese Waffles are quick and easy waffles that will loved by everyone in your family. I love these waffles as they are perfect to send to school for lunches or you can enjoy them as quick bite. You can also serve these as an appetizer for holiday parties or Diwali party. Corn and cheese is perfectly balanced mixture as the  sweetness from the corn and the saltiness from the cheese makes it an amazing combo. I also like it in between bread and make corn and cheese toasties. These are gluten free and nut free and has no onion or garlic. These Indian waffle recipe is going to be loved by everyone. 

Dish History: 

Whenever we think of waffles, we think of sweet waffles with maple syrup but these are savory waffles. Savory waffles has been a thing since last few years and there are so many things you can make in  a waffle maker and save time. 

Corn and cheese is one of my favorite mixture and we like to add the mixture in between bread, add it to parathas and make so much more with it. This mixture brings back so many childhood memories as we enjoyed it when we came back from school for a quick snack. 

The corn and cheese mixture is now in a waffle warm and these quick bite snacks are so addictive. Make these for school dabbas or serve them as an appetizer. 

If you do not own a waffle maker then you can easily make little corn and cheese patties or you can also make them in an air fryer.

Health Benefits

You can easily add veggies in this waffle recipe and I picked corn as it is kid friendly. The cheese adds protein, fats and the rice flour adds carbs.
