kitchenblend turns three!

This is so exciting! KITCHENBLEND is three today!

We’re still in our sloppy and stubborn toddler phase, but we sure have come a long way from spending half the time sleeping and the other have crying and pooping in our diaper.

And I’m going to be honest right now and tell you I literally goggled “what are kids doing when they’re three years old” in order to even begin to create that sentence. My god.

And what should you feed three year olds? How should I know?! But prrrobably not these waffles because I’ve snuck booze in here for a little celebratory situation.

You should know by now that I’m a huge fan of sweet and savory food combinations, especially for breakfast – last year for KITCHENBLEND’s second birthday I made gluten free peanut butter bacon donuts which if you haven’t tried yet, what are you waiting for?

I cheated a bit used this waffle recipe (I halved it, FYI) because I love making my waffle and pancake mixes from scratch, but if you’d like to use a box mix I won’t judge you too hard. The bourbon maple syrup is perfect if you’re feelin’ fancy but you can just as easily smoother these waffles in regular maple syrup.

I love this recipe for Sunday brunch or if you want a little mid-week brinner. Can’t wait to see what you think of this recipe!

prosciutto + white cheddar waffles with bourbon maple syrup

depending on the size of your waffle maker, makes roughly 4 waffles.

• 6 prosciutto slices
• 1/2 cup shredded sharp white cheddar
• coconut oil
• 1 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup bourbon
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF.
2. Make your waffle mix either from your favorite recipe, the recipe I used (I halved it) or a boxed waffle mix. Set aside.
3. Lay prosciutto slices flat on a baking sheet, bake for 10-12 minutes until prosciutto is crispy.
4. Break cooked prosciutto into small pieces and add both the prosciutto and cheese to the waffle mix, stir until combined.
5. Preheat your waffle maker and grease with coconut oil.
6. Fill waffle maker with about 1/3 cup waffle mix and cook for 3-ish minutes on each side (or follow your waffle makers directions).
7. While your making your waffles, pour the maple syrup and bourbon in a small pot and bring to a simmer for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and whisk in the cayenne.
8. Drizzle on your waffles and die of happiness.
