Ingredients
  

For the Waffles:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 large egg

1 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Sandwich Filling:

4 slices of cooked bacon, chopped (optional)

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 cup arugula or spinach

1/2 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream

Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Waffle Batter:

    - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt.

      - In a separate bowl, mix the egg, buttermilk, and melted butter until fully combined.

        - Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

          - Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped chives. Set aside.

            Preheat the Waffle Iron:

              - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions until hot and ready.

                Cook the Waffles:

                  - Lightly grease the waffle iron with non-stick spray or a brush of melted butter.

                    - Pour enough batter into the waffle iron to cover the surface (usually about 1/2 to 2/3 cup, depending on your waffle iron).

                      - Close the lid and cook until golden brown, usually about 4-6 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter.

                        Assemble the Sandwiches:

                          - For each sandwich, take two waffles as the base.

                            - Spread a generous layer of Greek yogurt or sour cream on one waffle.

                              - Layer with chopped bacon (if using), sliced avocado, and arugula or spinach.

                                - Top with another waffle and press down gently.

                                  Serve:

                                    - Cut the sandwiches in half for easier handling.

                                      - Optionally, sprinkle fresh cracked black pepper on top before serving.

                                        - Enjoy warm with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad!
