For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the batter. The nutty notes will complement the corn and chiles beautifully. Feel free to adjust the amount of green chiles to your liking. If you prefer a milder flavor, use a milder variety or reduce the quantity. These waffles can be made ahead of time and reheated in a toaster oven or oven for a quick and easy meal. If you don't have fresh green chiles, you can substitute with canned diced green chiles, but be sure to drain them well.
