Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions, typically around 375°F (190°C). Grease the plates with cooking spray or melted butter.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until there are no lumps.

In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, eggs, and honey until smooth.

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined and fold in cheese and jalapeños.

Pour approximately 3/4 cup of the batter onto the preheated waffle iron for each waffle. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes.

Carefully remove the waffles from the iron and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Serve hot with toppings.
