Blt Waffle Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Arrange bacon on a broiler pan and bake until crisp, about 15 minutes. Remove the bacon and reduce the oven temperature to 200 degrees F.
• Preheat a waffle iron to high.
• In a large bowl, whisk the flours, baking powder, kosher salt, and few grinds of black pepper. In a medium bowl, whisk the milk, 1/3 cup melted butter, and egg. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir just to combine. Stir in the cheese and herbs.
• Brush the waffle iron with melted butter and spoon in about 1/2 of the batter. Close and cook until the waffle is browned and crisp. Transfer the waffle to a plate and keep warm in the oven. Make another waffle with the remaining batter. Quarter the two waffles, creating 8 smaller waffles.
• Mix Dijon mustard and maple syrup. Set aside.
• To make a sandwich: top a waffle with the bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Drizzle on some maple-mustard sauce. Add another waffle to top.

Steps:

• Prepare waffles ahead of time per waffle maker directions (or while bacon in step #2 cooks). Cool on wire racks.
• Place the bacon on a lined sheet pan and roast in a 400-degree oven for 15-20 mins or until crisp.
• Slice tomatoes and wash lettuce, set aside.
• In a small bowl, make maple-mustard sauce by stirring the three ingredients together. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add more mustard or maple depending on your preference.
• Blot bacon. Once bacon and waffles are cooled, prep the sandwiches: Slather one waffle with sauce, layer with arugula, tomatoes and bacon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper as you like. Top with another waffle. Slice in half and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Use tomatoes held at room temp till fully ripe. Quarter tomatoes & remove the seedy moist centers so only the "meat" of the tomato is used. Coarsely chop tomato meat, place in a lrg bowl & set aside.
• Slice off the top of each hard roll & remove the center for a later use. Brush inside of rolls (& their tops) w/2 tbsp of the creamy dressing. Bake till lightly toasted (about 5 min) & set aside.
• Add the lettuce, bacon, green onions, feta cheese & remaining Caesar dressing to the bowl w/the tomatoes & toss till well-mixed.
• Spoon BLT mix into toasted bread shells. Place tops of rolls over the filling & serve immediately.
• NOTES: If you want to do the prep ahead, but serve later -- delay the final step till just prior to serving. Sliced avocado also makes a nice "extra" w/this sandwich.

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain. Discard drippings, reserving 2 tablespoons. Cook and stir kale in 1 tablespoon drippings in same pan over medium heat until tender, 6-8 minutes. Remove and keep warm. Add remaining 1 tablespoon drippings to pan. Break eggs, 1 at a time, into pan; reduce heat to low. Cook until whites are set and yolks begin to thicken, turning once if desired., Meanwhile, prepare waffles according to package directions. Top each waffle with kale, tomato slices, 1 egg, cheese and 2 bacon strips. If desired, serve with chipotle mayonnaise and parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat waffle maker. Whisk together first five ingredients. In another bowl, whisk egg yolks, milk and butter. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Stir in cheese., In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold into batter. Drop 1 heaping tablespoon of batter in the center of each waffle iron quadrant; bake according to manufacturer's directions until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Cool on wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter., Spread mayonnaise evenly over half of the waffle pieces; top with bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, seasonings and remaining waffle pieces to make sliders. Serve immediately.
