Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the batter in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Just give it a good stir before pouring it into the waffle iron.
Can I use a different type of cheese?
If you don’t have cottage cheese, you could try ricotta or cream cheese, but it may change the texture of the waffles.

For fluffier waffles, separate the eggs, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, and then fold them into the batter.
Can I make these waffles without a waffle iron?
