Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 cup buttermilk (or substitute with milk mixed with 1 tablespoon vinegar)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

4 large eggs (for frying)

1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for frying eggs)

Fresh chives, finely chopped (for garnish)

Hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Maker: Start by preheating your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring it's ready for use.

    Prepare the Waffle Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar, whisking until evenly blended. In a separate bowl, beat the large egg and then mix in the buttermilk and melted butter until thoroughly combined. Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just enough to combine. Carefully fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, taking care not to overmix to retain the fluffiness of the waffles.

      Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle maker with a non-stick spray or brush with a little olive oil. Pour an appropriate amount of waffle batter (usually enough to cover the surface) into the waffle maker, close the lid, and cook according to your waffle maker’s instructions (typically about 5-7 minutes) until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Repeat this process until all the batter is used, placing the cooked waffles on a plate and keeping them warm.

        Fry the Eggs: While the waffles are being cooked, heat olive oil or butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully crack the large eggs into the skillet and fry them sunny-side up or to your desired level of doneness. Season with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper for flavor.

          Assemble the Waffle Stacks: On a serving plate, place one waffle as the base, then carefully add a fried egg on top. Layer another waffle on top of the egg, continuing this process until you create a delightful stack of 2 or 3 waffles, each topped with a fried egg to complete the assembly.

            Garnish and Serve: Finish by sprinkling freshly chopped chives over the top of your waffle stacks for a burst of color and flavor. If you enjoy a bit of heat, drizzle with hot sauce to taste. Serve warm and savor the deliciousness of your Golden Egg & Cheddar Waffle Stacks!
