Preparation Method

Preheat your mini waffle maker.

Once hot, lightly grease the plates with butter or a non-stick cooking spray.

In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and the 1 cup (240 ml) of shredded cheddar cheese until well combined. The mixture will be thick.

Pour half of the cheese and egg mixture onto the hot waffle maker, close the lid, and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Carefully remove the chaffle and repeat with the remaining mixture to make a second chaffle.

While the chaffles cook, fry the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until your desired level of crispiness is reached.

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

In the same skillet, fry the remaining 2 eggs to your preference (sunny-side up, over-easy, or over-medium work best).

Assemble your sandwiches: Place one chaffle on a plate, top with a slice of American cheese, two strips of crispy bacon, a fried egg, and finally, the second chaffle.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

Don't overfill your waffle maker! A little less than you think is usually the perfect amount to prevent overflow and ensure even cooking.
