I am not good at plating food.

Here's how I served my savory waffles - with simple herbed and grilled chicken and steamed broccoli.

I slathered a hell of a lot of butter on my waffle half because that's how I like it. These were baked for too long - the outside was too dry and crispy. But the inside was fluffy and flavorful. The onion, pepper, and cheese made for a salty and rich biscuit flavor.

Here's the inside. You can see the yellow spots where the cheese melted into the batter.
