01
Step 1
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, which usually takes about 15 minutes. Once it’s done, take the bacon out and lower the oven temperature to 200°F to keep everything warm.

Step 2
Next, get your waffle iron heating up on high. In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. In another bowl, mix the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ones and stir just until everything comes together. Then fold in the cheese and herbs.

Step 3
Brush the waffle iron with some melted butter, pour in about half the batter, and cook until the waffle turns golden and crispy. Pop the finished waffle onto a plate and keep it warm in the oven. Repeat with the rest of the batter. Once both waffles are done, cut each into quarters so you have eight smaller waffle pieces.

Step 4
Mix the Dijon mustard and maple syrup in a small bowl and set that aside. When you’re ready to assemble, layer bacon, lettuce, and tomato on one waffle piece, drizzle with the maple-mustard sauce, and top it off with another waffle quarter. Enjoy!
Why you’ll love it
This sandwich combines crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and juicy tomatoes with the unique twist of waffles as the bread. It’s a fun and flavorful way to enjoy classic ingredients in a new form. Preparing it ahead of time makes it perfect for busy mornings or quick lunches.
How to serve
Serve these sandwiches with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad for a balanced meal. A drizzle of maple syrup or a smear of mayo can add extra flavor and moisture. They also pair well with a cup of coffee or iced tea.
Storage & leftovers
Wrap the sandwiches tightly in plastic wrap or foil and store them in the refrigerator. They are best eaten within 24 hours to maintain freshness. To reheat, warm them in a toaster oven or regular oven to keep the waffles crisp.
