Instructions

Avocado Corn Salsa
  1. Add all ingredients to a medium mixing bowl. Stir to combine and place in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Cornmeal Waffles
  1. Heat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, oregano, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, add buttermilk, eggs, corn, melted butter, cheese and honey. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  4. Slowly whisk the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing until just combined.
  5. Once the waffle iron is ready, spray with cooking spray and pour 1 ½ cups of the batter into the center of the iron; spreading the batter evenly. Close the lid and let cook until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Remove waffle and set on a baking pan that has been placed in an oven set to 300°F. This will keep it crisp and warm while you make the other waffles. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
  7. Top each waffle with the salsa and drizzle with maple syrup or hot honey (if desired). Serve immediately.
