03 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the waffle iron according to the manufacturer's guidance.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk together whole milk, eggs, melted butter, and olive oil until the mixture is smooth and homogeneous.
03 - In a separate bowl, thoroughly combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
04 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
05 - Gently fold in the minced garlic, chopped parsley, dried oregano, and grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.
06 - Lightly coat the hot waffle iron with a small amount of cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
07 - Ladle batter onto the preheated waffle iron so the grid is just covered, close the lid, and cook each waffle until golden brown and crisp, approximately 3 to 5 minutes per batch.
08 - Carefully remove cooked waffles and repeat until all batter is used. Garnish with additional parsley and serve warm, optionally accompanied by marinara sauce or melted butter.
