Loaded Bacon Cheddar And Basil Waffles With Tomato Jam 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!

LOADED BACON, CHEDDAR AND BASIL WAFFLES WITH TOMATO JAM

Steps:

• In 12-inch skillet, heat Tomato Jam ingredients to boiling over medium-high heat. Reduce heat. Simmer uncovered about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Keep warm.
• Heat waffle maker. In large bowl, stir Bisquick mix, milk, egg and olive oil until well blended; fold in bacon, cheese and chopped basil.
• Pour 1/2 cup batter onto center of hot waffle maker; close lid. Cook 3 to 4 minutes or until crisp and golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter. Top each waffle with tomato jam. Top with fried egg; garnish with additional fresh basil.

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.
