Bacon-Stuffed Waffles

This is a fun variation on basic waffles if you like the combination of sweet and salty/savory, and it works particularly well with my favorite waffle recipe - one from the New Basics cookbook that includes some whole wheat flour and cinnamon.

Pour about half of the amount of batter you usually use on the heated grates, and lay a couple strips of already cooked bacon across them. (Don't use raw bacon, as the waffles won't be in the iron long enough to thoroughly cook it.) I need to cut my bacon slices in half so they fit.







Then pour more batter on top of the bacon, before closing the iron and waiting a few minutes for the waffles to cook.








The waffle batter cooks up and around the bacon, so it's only visible from the ends.

Good maple syrup is a must!
