Cornmeal Bacon Waffles with Cheese Sauce

Recipe View 5 mins Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat. (5 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and oil (or melted butter). (2 minutes)

Recipe View 2 mins In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt. (2 minutes)

Recipe View 3 mins Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined; do not overmix. A few lumps are okay. (3 minutes)

Recipe View 5 mins Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot iron (adjust amount based on your waffle iron's size). Lay a strip of bacon across each section of the waffle iron. Close the lid and cook until the waffle is golden brown and the bacon is crispy, usually 3-5 minutes, depending on your waffle iron. (3-5 minutes per waffle)

Recipe View 7 mins While the waffles are cooking, prepare the cheese sauce. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cubed cheese and 2 tablespoons of milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheese is melted and smooth. Gradually stir in additional milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired sauce consistency. Alternatively, melt the cheese in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. (5-7 minutes)
