CHEDDAR-BLACK PEPPER WAFFLES WITH SAUSAGE AND APPLES MAPLE AGRODOLCE
Steps:
- For the sausage and apples maple agrodolce: Put 1 tablespoon of the canola oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Put the remaining tablespoon of oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and toss to coat with the oil, then add the apples, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and some salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the apples and onions are very soft and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add 1 tablespoon of the apple cider vinegar and remove the skillet from the heat. Stir the sausage, thyme and parsley into the caramelized apples; transfer to a bowl and keep warm.
- Put the nonstick skillet back over low heat, add the remaining 6 tablespoons maple syrup and 3 tablespoons cider vinegar and swirl a few times to make the agrodolce.
- For the Cheddar-black pepper waffles: Fit a baking sheet with a baking rack, put the baking sheet in the oven and preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- Whisk together the flour, Cheddar, baking powder, sugar, baking soda, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter, hot sauce and eggs in a medium bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined. Lumps are ok.
- Preheat the waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Brush the grates with some melted butter. Ladle about 1/3 cup of the waffle batter into each grate, close the cover and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes. The waffles will be misshapen, not perfectly square, with rounded corners. When they are cooked, transfer them to the baking rack and continue with the rest of the batter.
- To serve, put 2 waffles on each of 4 plates. Top each with some sausage and apples and a drizzle of the warm maple syrup and cider vinegar agrodolce. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- For the best results, use a Belgian waffle maker. This will ensure that your waffles are cooked evenly and have a crispy exterior.
- If you don't have a Belgian waffle maker, you can also use a regular waffle maker. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
- Use a variety of apples in your waffles. This will give them a more complex flavor and texture.
- Be sure to grate the apples finely. This will help them to incorporate evenly into the batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the waffles tough.
- Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings. Butter, syrup, and whipped cream are all classic choices.
Conclusion:
Apple cheddar waffles are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch recipe. They're perfect for a lazy weekend morning or a special holiday meal. With their sweet and savory flavor, these waffles are sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
