Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? Waffles are a FAVORITE of mine, so I tend to find ways to make them savory! This simple recipe will satisfy your waffle craving while skipping that sugar crash. (Paleo, Low-carb)
Heat oven to 350f degrees, line a baking sheet with tin-foil or parchment paper and place a rack on top. Place your slices of bacon on the rack and once the oven is ready, pop the bacon in to bake.
Heat waffle iron and have ingredients ready (when using egg whites, time matters!)
Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form (by hand it takes longer, but also feels like a workout...)
Add coconut flour, baking powder, coconut milk, and whisk into the stiff egg whites. It will look like a paste.
Add the yolks and whisk well, lastly, add the collagen if using and sea salt. Mix well and now you have the batter (approx. 2/3 cup), divide as necessary for your iron. This makes two square waffles for me using 1/3 cup for each serving. I heated mine to a 4.5 on a scale to 6 and they're perfect! Cook your waffles according to your machine's directions.
While your waffles are cooking, check on your bacon and remove when you're happy with the crispiness level! Fire up a sauté pan with a little ghee/butter or olive oil and fry your eggs. I like to crack my eggs over the medium-heated oil/ghee and cover them just for a couple of minutes so they come out over-medium (no gooey egg whites, but gooey yellow!)
Plate your waffles and add the bacon and eggs over top. Sprinkle sea salt and pepper if you like, and enjoy!
