BLT Waffle Sandwiches for Easy Meal Prep

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make BLT Waffle Sandwiches for Easy Meal Prep.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oven warms up, lay out the bacon on a broiler pan and let it bake until it reaches that perfect crispy texture, which should take about 15 minutes.

3. Step 3

   Once the bacon is done, carefully take it out and lower the oven temperature to 200°F (93°C) to keep your waffles warm and toasty.

4. Step 4

   Next, get your waffle iron ready by preheating it to high heat.

5. Step 5

   In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, kosher salt, and a dash of black pepper, whisking them together until well blended.

6. Step 6

   In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the milk, melted butter, and egg until smooth.

7. Step 7

   Pour this creamy mixture into the flour blend and stir gently until just combined—don’t worry if there are a few lumps! Now, fold in the grated cheese and chopped herbs, adding a burst of flavor to your batter.

8. Step 8

   Before you start cooking, brush the preheated waffle iron with a little melted butter to ensure a golden finish.

9. Step 9

   Pour half of your delicious batter into the waffle iron, close it, and let it cook until the waffle is beautifully golden brown and crisp.

10. Step 10

    Once it’s ready, transfer the waffle to a plate and keep it warm in the oven.

11. Step 11

    Repeat this process with the remaining batter to create a second waffle.

12. Step 12

    When both waffles are cooked, slice each one into quarters, giving you a delightful total of eight smaller waffles.

13. Step 13

    For a tasty twist, mix together Dijon mustard and maple syrup in a small bowl and set it aside.

14. Step 14

    Now, it’s time to assemble your scrumptious sandwich! Take one waffle quarter and layer it with crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and juicy sliced tomatoes.

15. Step 15

    Drizzle your homemade maple-mustard sauce over the top, then crown it with another waffle quarter to complete your mouthwatering creation.

16. Step 16

    Enjoy every bite of this delightful waffle sandwich, perfect for breakfast or brunch!.
