Ingredients
•
8 slices bacon
•
1 cup all-purpose flour
•
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
•
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
•
3 tablespoons dried parsley
•
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
•
2 tablespoons dried sweet basil
•
1 tablespoon white sugar
•
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
•
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
•
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
•
1 1/3 cups milk
•
2 large eggs
•
3 tablespoons butter, melted
•
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
•
3/4 cup sour cream
•
2 teaspoons white sugar
•
1 tablespoon minced onion
Directions
1
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.
2
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.
3
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.
4
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.
5
Stir the sour cream, sugar, and onion together in a small bowl. Drizzle the onion sauce evenly over the warm waffles. Sprinkle crumbled bacon over the waffles to serve.
