Jalapeno Cheddar Corn Waffles with Cheese Sauce

We start this New Year 2020 with a very easy and successful recipe. Corn, Cheddar, and Jalapeño Waffles ; a recipe that from now on I tell you, is going to become an essential for your whole family. And also, to improve it, if possible, I will tell you that we are going to accompany it with a cheddar cheese sauce. Yes, yes, just what you're thinking: To wet the waffle well!

A sweet waffle is always welcome, but it is true that they cannot be abused either; but with these salty ones, I think we can make an exception. Not only can we eat them as snacks, but they are an ideal substitute for bread for any meal that requires it. Also, why not, they can be a great breakfast.

Also, I'm going to tell you something: After cooking them, we can freeze them and always have them on hand. You just have to let it defrost at room temperature or if you are not one of those who waits even a minute… Put them in the toaster, which slice of bread and enjoy.

To make these waffles, I used the Nordic Ware waffle iron , it not only makes great waffles, but what I like the most about it is that it doesn't take up any space, it's like having one more frying pan, and on top of that, it can be it can clean great.

We can accompany these waffles with anything, feel free to experiment with their accompaniments and do not forget to share it with me to give me some more ideas.

This recipe is ideal for children, yes, if they do not like spicy, or are not used to its flavor, it is better to omit the jalapeño, because although they are not spicy at all, perhaps they can notice it. Also, these waffles are gluten-free , so one more point in their favor.

Have I already told you that it is a very easy recipe? You only need some hand sticks and a couple of bowls; And if you are looking for a pair of hands for the little ones in the house, the job is more than done. Let's go with the recipe!
