Ingredients
  

For the Waffles:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1-2 jalapeños, diced (seeds removed for less heat)

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 ¾ cups buttermilk

1 large egg

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Eggs:

4 large eggs

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon butter (for cooking eggs)

For Assembly:

Sliced avocado (optional)

Sliced tomatoes (optional)

Fresh cilantro or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Make the Waffle Batter:

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

      - In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, egg, and melted butter until combined. Fold in the diced jalapeños and shredded cheddar cheese.

        - Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.

          Preheat the Waffle Iron:

            - Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. If using a classic waffle iron, lightly grease it with non-stick spray or a brush of melted butter.

              Cook the Waffles:

                - Pour the appropriate amount of batter onto the preheated waffle iron (this will depend on the size of your iron). Close the lid and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter until all waffles are cooked. Keep them warm in a low oven if needed.

                  Prepare the Eggs:

                    - While the waffles are cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 3-4 minutes for sunny-side up. You can also flip them for over-easy eggs if preferred.

                      Assemble the Sandwiches:

                        - Take one waffle, place an egg on top, and add sliced avocado and tomatoes if desired. Top with another waffle to create a sandwich. Repeat for the remaining waffles and eggs.

                          Serve:

                            - Garnish with fresh cilantro or chives if desired. Serve hot with your favorite hot sauce or salsa on the side for an extra kick!
