Easy Bacon Cheese Waffle

This super easy bacon cheese waffle recipe been my go to breakfast for the last 4 weeks. These waffles are fluffy, cheesy and packed with bacon pieces.

I love waffles!

Full. Stop. Period!

I love them savory or a little sweet.

Really I will take them anyway- anyhow!

We have a sunday morning tradition to experiment with different combinations. Each week we come together for a waffle meeting and we decided what combo we are going to make that weekend. Why yes, we do have a waffle meeting. Waffles are a serious issue in our family.

Whenever we go out for breakfast I always order waffles with a side of turkey bacon.  So I knew that as soon as my turn came around to choose, that I would make a cheese-y, bacon-y, and fluffy waffle. And because it’s made with turkey bacon, there is even less guilt. Guilt-free waffles…. I’ll take that!

Do you guys see those crispy cheesey edges? I know you do… those are the best part of my weekends. Sad but true. I really really love crispy cheesey bits of anything. Don’t you too? Who doesn’t??

So…Make ’em!

Make ’em now!

Make ’em for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner… make ’em for life.

Okay, I’ll stop— but make ’em!
