BACON AND CHEDDAR WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron.
• In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until fluffy; reserve.
• Next, in a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. In a third bowl, whisk together the milk, oil and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Add the bacon, Cheddar and reserved whisked eggs and mix until combined.
• Spray the waffle iron with nonstick spray. Pour in 1/4 cup of the batter and cook the waffles until golden brown. (The waffles can be kept in a low oven to keep warm while the others cook.) Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve the waffles with butter, syrup and/or fried eggs.

CHEDDAR AND BACON CORNMEAL WAFFLE SANDWICHES WITH MAPLE MUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder and baking soda in a medium bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, butter, 1/4 cup of the maple syrup and eggs in a medium bowl until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined.
• Heat a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's directions. Spray the grates of the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray. Use a scant 1/2 cup of the batter per grid, close the cover and cook until golden brown or when the steam stops emerging from the waffle iron, about 4 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter. The recipe will make 6 waffles.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the Dijon mustard and the remaining 2 tablespoons of the maple syrup in a small bowl.
• Place 3 waffles on a large baking sheet in a single layer and spread some of the mustard over the tops of each waffle. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top. Place in the oven until the cheese has melted.
• Arrange one-third of the bacon slices on the cheesy waffles and drizzle with a little more of the Dijon mustard mixture. Top with the reserved 3 waffles. Slice on the diagonal and serve warm.

BACON CHEDDAR CORNMEAL WAFFLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl measure and add the coarse cornmeal. Pour the cup of boiling water over the grits and stir to combine. Let the cornmeal sit for 15 minutes until cooled.
• Meanwhile in a medium bowl whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Set aside.
• Then crack and add two large eggs, the melted (and cooled) butter and whisk to combine.
• Combine the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and the cup of milk and stir. Lastly add in the cooked bacon and the grated cheddar cheese and stir to combine.
• Lightly spray the waffle iron. Once preheated, use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to pour batter into each waffle section. Close and cook the waffles for 3-5 minutes until the edges are slightly crispy.
• Remove the finished waffles to a sheet pan and slide them in a preheated 200 degree oven to keep warm while you make the remaining waffles. Stir the batter in between batches so the cornmeal and bacon don't sink to the bottom.
• Serve these pancakes with a pat of butter and warm maple syrup.

CORNMEAL BACON WAFFLES WITH CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat your waffle iron.
• In a small bowl, mix together the eggs, milk and oil. In a larger bowl, stir together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar and salt. Make a well in the center, and pour in the milk mixture. Stir until well blended.
• Pour 1/4 cup batter onto the heated waffle iron. Amount may be different for different irons. Place a strip of raw bacon over the batter across each section of the waffle iron. Close the lid, and cook until steam is no longer coming out, and the waffle is golden brown.
• For the cheese sauce, melt processed cheese in a bowl in the microwave. Gradually stir in milk until you reach your desired thickness. Drizzle cheese sauce over waffles before serving.
