Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and diced red bell pepper.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter.
Pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the waffle iron and spread slightly. Close the lid and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and dijon mustard. Set aside.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise-mustard mixture on one side of two waffles.
Layer fresh spinach leaves, sliced avocado, and sliced tomato on top of the mayo-mustard mixture on one waffle.
Top with another waffle, sauce side down, to form a sandwich. Repeat to make additional sandwiches.
Cut each waffle sandwich in half and serve immediately.
