1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 Tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
pinch cayenne optional
4 Tablespoon unsalted butter melted and cooled
1 large egg
1 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk
1/2 pound pork or turkey breakfast sausage cooked and excess fat drained (leftover is fine) (ham can be substituted)
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Whisk 1 cup all purpose flour, 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 Tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon dry mustard, and pinch cayenne together in a medium bowl. In another bowl or large measuring cup, whisk the melted butter and 1 large egg together. Whisk in 1 3/4 cup milk or buttermilk until combined.
Make a hole in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour milk mixture in and stir gently until milk mixture is just incorporated but still lumpy. Fold in the cooked sausage and 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese. The batter will be thick.
Grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or brush with cooking oil. Heat waffle iron. Spread the batter evenly over the iron and cook according to your waffle iron's directions. The waffle should stop steaming and be golden brown when you remove it. Repeat with remaining the remaining batter, re-greasing the waffle iron as needed. Serve or cool completely on a wire rack and freeze in an airtight container or freezer bag. Reheat in the toaster.
