Beat the eggs

• Crack the eggs into a bowl.
• Season with salt and black pepper and whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
• Stir in the chopped chives and grated cheddar.

Heat the waffle iron

• Preheat the waffle iron until it is hot.
• Brush the plates generously with melted butter so the eggs do not stick.

Cook the egg waffles

• Pour the egg mixture into the waffle iron, filling the cavities without overflowing.
• Close and cook until the eggs are set and golden at the edges.

Serve

• Lift the waffle out carefully with a fork or spatula.
• Serve hot on its own or with your favourite toppings.
