Ingredients

dry ingredients:

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
2 Tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

wet ingredients:

2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups buttermilk
1/2 cup unsalted butter - melted and cooled slightly
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup bacon - cooked and diced
eggs cooked over easy - for serving
maple syrup - for serving

Instructions

Cook the bacon. You can use the skillet, microwave, or the oven to cook it. I prefer cooking a whole package of bacon in the oven using a wire rack on a baking sheet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients - the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, 2 Tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt,
To the bowl, add the eggs, buttermilk, vanilla, and melted and cooled butter. Mix with a large spoon. Be careful to not over-mix. Some small clumps of flour are ok.
Then add the cooked and crumbled bacon and shredded cheddar cheese. Let the batter sit for 15-20 minutes.
2 large eggs, 2 cups buttermilk, 2 teaspoons vanilla, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 3/4 cup bacon, 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Prepare a waffle iron. When hot, add batter and cook until done. You should get approximately 12 waffles.
Serve by topping the waffles with an egg over easy, a few extra pieces of bacon, along with a big drizzle of maple syrup!

Notes

Storing - These can be stored in the refrigerator for several days. Simply warm them up in the microwave or use toaster to get them a little crunchy

Freezing - I'm always looking for meals that are freezer friendly for a grab-and-go meal. Waffles freeze up great, and I've been doing that for years. You just place them in freezer bags, separated by parchment paper, and freeze up to three months. Grab one on your way out the door, or eat them at home with a freshly cooked egg on top.
