Flavorful Waffles with Cheese and Herbs

Prepare the ingredients. Similar waffles can be made with milk as well. To do this, simply replace kefir with milk in the recipe. You can choose any herbs according to your taste. Instead of paprika, you can use any other favorite spices.

Finely chop the green onions. Melt 20g of butter in a skillet. Add the onions and quickly sauté until soft. Remove from heat. This will make the onions softer and tastier. This step can be skipped if desired.

Melt the remaining 60g of butter over low heat. Grate the cheese on a coarse grater. In a separate bowl, mix the eggs and kefir.

Add the melted butter, sautéed onions, and grated cheese to the egg mixture. Mix well.

Sift the flour with a pinch of salt and a leavening agent. It is convenient to use a special sieve cup for this. This will help get rid of lumps and impurities, resulting in fluffier pastries. Pour the egg mixture into the flour, add paprika, and mix until smooth. Do not mix for too long, otherwise, the waffles will become rubbery. The batter will be quite thick.

Preheat the waffle maker. If necessary, grease it with oil, although it is not required for waffle makers with a non-stick coating. Scoop about 1.5-2 tablespoons of batter with a heap in the center and cover with the lid. The amount of batter may vary depending on the size of the waffle maker. Cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown. The cooking time will depend on the waffle maker and the power setting. Usually, after making the first few waffles, it will be clear how long they need to be cooked for.

To ensure that the ready waffles cool down properly, it is recommended to place them on a wire rack, allowing excess moisture to evaporate and ensuring their crispiness. Enjoy your meal!
