Want to knock the socks off your guests at brunch? Then this is the dish! It’s the ultimate sweet and savory treat. You can serve it for breakfast or brunch, either way is sure to be a huge hit.
I freaking LOVE waffles. In the debate of waffle vs pancake, waffle all the way! There are so many variations of deliciousness you can make with these fluffy and crunchy little pieces of heaven. I have tried a few batter variations and this is by far my best one. It manages to produce a perfect crunchy crusty and the most fantastic fluffy inside!
Just look how gorgeous these are.
You cannot beat a good quality brand of maple syrup and some days that’s all I crave, but most of the time my brain won’t simply let me not get creative and experiment with different toppings/sauces. For this waffle the sweet is a absolute must as it balances out the savory, the salty bacon, and spicy jalapeno. I really wanted just a bit of a bite back so I mixed together 1/2 cup of maple syrup and 1 tablespoon of sriracha. Every ingredient compliments the other so perfectly. It really is the perfect marriage of sweet and spicy. I hope you enjoy!
