Savory Cheese and Bacon Waffles

We have a waffle joint near us that serves a waffle similar to this. It’s my favorite thing to get when I go maybe once a year. Clayton has never gone to the restaurant with me so I decided to recreate it for him and well it’s pretty amazing! Hold the maple syrup for this, because I love that they serve it with an over easy egg on top and sour cream on the side. It’s perfection and the perfect meal for brunch on the weekend, or dinner during the week too!

This recipe makes 2 big Belgium waffles for me. Sometimes I have to double if we need more. Half it, double it, triple it do whatever you need to do to make enough! Also I put 2-4 servings because for me 1/2 of a waffle is plenty, so the serving size does vary. The number of eggs you make to top your waffle differs on preference. I usually make one egg per serving, so I usually fry up 4 eggs.

Our local butcher shop sells crumbled bacon which is just ground bacon and I do believe it’s perfect for this recipe. If your butcher shop sells something like that I encourage you try it! I use it often for recipes like this or recipes that call for bacon bits or even chopped bacon. It is perfect to use as a topping for your soups, baked beans, or these waffles!

Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon or ½ cup crumbled bacon

Directions

• Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp and brown. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain. Chop the bacon into bite-size pieces. (If using crumbled bacon, fry the ground bacon in skillet and transfer to paper towel to drain.)
