Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

8 slices bacon
1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ cup whole wheat flour
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons dried parsley
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
2 tablespoons dried sweet basil
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 ¾ teaspoons salt
1 ⅓ cups milk
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
¾ cup sour cream
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 tablespoon minced onion

Steps:

  • Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet and cook over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 5 minutes per side. Drain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble once cooled.
  • Preheat an oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) to keep the finished waffles warm. Preheat a waffle iron and coat lightly with cooking spray.
  • Combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, Parmesan cheese, parsley, rosemary, basil, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Whisk the milk, eggs, butter, and Dijon mustard together in a small bowl. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined.
  • Pour about 1/3 cup batter into each square of the preheated waffle iron; cook until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Keep prepared waffles in the preheated oven until all are cooked.

Tips:

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the waffles tough.
  • Cook the waffles on a hot waffle iron. This will help them cook evenly and crispy.
  • Serve the waffles immediately with your favorite toppings. Waffles are delicious with butter, syrup, fruit, whipped cream, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Savory herb waffles are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite herbs and toppings. Whether you are looking for a hearty breakfast or a light lunch, savory herb waffles are a great option. So next time you are looking for something new to try, give these waffles a try!
