Instructions

1

Crisp the Bacon

Start by heating your oven to 375°F. Lay the bacon out on a broiler pan and bake it until it’s nice and crispy, about 15 minutes. Once it’s done, take the bacon out and lower the oven temperature to 200°F to keep things warm.

2

Prepare batter and heat waffle iron

Next, get your waffle iron heating up on the highest setting. In a big bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, kosher salt, and a few cracks of black pepper. In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and stir just until everything comes together. Then fold in the cheese and herbs.

3

Cook and warm waffles

Brush some melted butter on the waffle iron and spoon in about half of the batter. Close it up and cook until the waffle is golden and crispy. Pop the finished waffle onto a plate and keep it warm in the oven while you make the second one. Once both are done, cut each waffle into four pieces so you have eight smaller squares.

4

Assemble and Sauce Sandwich

Mix the Dijon mustard and maple syrup in a small bowl. To build your sandwich, layer a waffle piece with bacon, lettuce, and tomato, then drizzle on some of that maple-mustard sauce. Top it off with another waffle piece and enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad to balance the richness. A cold glass of iced tea or lemonade pairs nicely with the flavors and adds a refreshing touch to the meal.

Storage Tips

Wrap sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for up to two days. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or skillet to keep the waffles crisp and the bacon tasty. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.
