Savory Waffles with Asparagus, Gruyere and Onion image

I took one of our family's favorite puff pastry recipes, which uses a similar mix of ingredients, and translated it to savory waffles. It's a change of pace from sweeter fare. Served with a ham steak and fried eggs, it makes a fabulous meal. Feel free to add maple syrup or a spicy glaze. -Leslie Ponce, Miami, Florida

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my waffles turned out really flat. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These waffles were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had added a little more milk to the batter.

I'm not a big fan of Gruyère cheese, so I used cheddar cheese instead. The waffles still turned out great!

These waffles were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better with a little more salt and pepper.
