Grilled Cheese-and-Chicken-Sausage Waffles

Makes 6 six-inch waffles

1.5 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
4 Tbsp butter, melted
2 large eggs
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (8oz)
1/2 lb. fully cooked chicken sausage, cut into 1/4-inch cubes

Preheat nonstick waffle iron to medium-high.  Preheat oven to 200 degrees.  In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper.  In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat the buttermilk, butter, and eggs.  Pour into the dry ingredients and stir to form a stiff batter.  Stir in 1.5 cups cheese and the sausage. 

Spoon some batter onto the preheated waffle iron and spread out evenly with a knife.  Cook until golden brown and crisp (following manufacturers' instructions).  Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the prepared waffles warm in the oven.

Top with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese.  Serve the waffles with maple syrup.
