Bacon Topped Savory Waffles With Onion Sauce Recipes

CHEF CAPON'S CHEDDAR BACON WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat your waffle iron. Mine only has one setting anyway, but you want the iron to be pretty hot.
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, whisk to combine the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
• In another bowl, whisk to combine the egg yolks, milk, and butter. Set aside.
• In a large (and very clean) bowl, use a hand mixer to whip the egg whites to soft peaks.
• Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and mix until they are almost combined. Add the egg whites, bacon, cheese, and scallions to the bowl, and gently fold them in until combined.
• Portion the batter into your waffle iron (the amount will vary by waffle iron, but I use about one cup per waffle), and cook for approximately 5 minutes, until golden brown.
• When the waffle has finished cooking, place directly on the wire rack in the oven, to let the steam escape. Finish cooking the remaining waffles, and enjoy!

BACON-TOPPED SAVORY WAFFLES WITH ONION SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 5 minutes per side. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble once cooled.
• Preheat an oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) to keep the finished waffles warm. Preheat a waffle iron and coat lightly with cooking spray.
• Combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, Parmesan cheese, parsley, rosemary, basil, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Whisk the milk, eggs, butter, and Dijon mustard together in a small bowl. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
• Pour about 1/3 cup batter into each square of the preheated waffle iron; cook until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Keep prepared waffles in the preheated oven until all are cooked.
• Stir the sour cream, sugar, and onion together in a small bowl. Drizzle the onion sauce evenly over the warm waffles. Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the waffles to serve.
