Provided by Joanne Ozug

Categories     Breakfast

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour ((10 oz by weight))
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp baking powder
3 eggs (separated)
1.5 cups milk
1 cup unsalted butter (melted)
6 strips bacon (cooked and crumbled*)
2.5 oz grated cheddar cheese
3 scallions (chopped)

Steps:

  • Preheat your waffle iron. Mine only has one setting anyway, but you want the iron to be pretty hot.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, whisk to combine the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, whisk to combine the egg yolks, milk, and butter. Set aside.
  • In a large (and very clean) bowl, use a hand mixer to whip the egg whites to soft peaks.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry, and mix until they are almost combined. Add the egg whites, bacon, cheese, and scallions to the bowl, and gently fold them in until combined.
  • Portion the batter into your waffle iron (the amount will vary by waffle iron, but I use about one cup per waffle), and cook for approximately 5 minutes, until golden brown.
  • When the waffle has finished cooking, place directly on the wire rack in the oven, to let the steam escape. Finish cooking the remaining waffles, and enjoy!

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 24 pinwheels

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 slices bacon
6 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
6 scallions, green part only, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 sheets frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce package), thawed
All-purpose flour, for dusting
4 ounces Cheddar, grated
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and allow to cool slightly, then finely chop. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese and scallions. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Unfold the pastry sheets on a lightly floured work surface. Lightly roll each piece of pastry into a 10-inch square. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of each piece of pastry, leaving a slight border around the edges. Sprinkle the Cheddar and bacon in an even layer over the top of the cream cheese mixture. Tightly roll each pastry sheet into a log (jelly roll style), then pinch the seam closed and place seam-side down on the work surface.
  • Using a sharp knife, cut both logs crosswise into 12 pinwheels each, approximately 1 inch thick. Transfer 12 pinwheels to each prepared baking sheet, spiral-side up. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and 1 tablespoon water until combined to make an egg wash. Brush the tops and sides of the pinwheels with the egg wash.
  • Bake the pinwheels until puffed and golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm.
