Ingredients

  • 2 cups Original Bisquick™ mix
  • 1 1/3 cups whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 3/4 lb chorizo, ground
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup shredded fontina cheese
  • 4 fried eggs (optional)
  • Sliced avocado, fresh cilantro and sliced jalapeño, for serving

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    In a bowl, mix together the Bisquick™, milk, melted butter, egg and a pinch of salt and pepper until just combined. It's okay if batter is lumpy. Stir in cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Set batter aside to rest for 5 minutes.
  • Step 
    2
    Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over high heat and brown chorizo all over, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Once chorizo is cooked, add chopped bell pepper and spinach. Continue cooking another 5 minutes and then remove from heat.
  • Step 
    3
    Preheat your waffle iron. Cook waffles according to manufacturer's directions, being VERY careful not to overcook the waffles. I prefer to slightly undercook them.
  • Step 
    4
    Place cooked waffles back in iron and top each with chorizo mixture and then a handful of fontina cheese. Add another waffle on top like you are making a sandwich. Carefully shut the waffle iron, pressing the waffles together to form sandwiches. Cook 1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted and gooey. Carefully remove each waffled sandwich to a plate.
  • Step 
    5
    Top each sandwich with a fried egg, avocado, fresh cilantro and sliced jalapeño.
