  • Prep Time: 6 minutes
  • Cook Time: 20 minutes
  • Total Time: 26 minutes
  • Yield: 2 sandwiches 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Belgian waffles (fresh, frozen, or homemade)
  • 8 slices of bacon
  • 4 slices of deli chicken breast
  • 4 slices of your favorite cheese (e.g., Swiss, Cheddar, or Gouda)
  • A handful of fresh spinach leaves
  • Butter or oil for cooking
  • Optional: mayonnaise, mustard, or honey for added flavor

Instructions

  1. Cook the Bacon (10 minutes): In a skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Waffles (5 minutes): Toast the Belgian waffles according to package instructions or until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. Set aside.
  3. Assemble the Sandwich (5 minutes): Start by placing the sliced deli chicken on one waffle. Top with a slice of cheese, followed by two slices of bacon, and a handful of fresh spinach leaves. If using, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise, mustard, or honey on another waffle and place it on top to close the sandwich.
  4. Grill the Sandwich (5 minutes): Heat a little butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until the cheese is melted and the waffles are toasted to your liking.
  5. Serve (1 minute): Carefully remove the sandwich from the skillet and cut it in half. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Pair this with...

Very Berry Smoothie

First, grab a handful of fresh or frozen strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. Toss them all into your blender. To make it creamy and dreamy, add a cup of yogurt or almond milk. Need a touch of sweetness? Drizzle in a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup, adjusting to your preference. If you're aiming for an extra boost, consider adding a spoonful of chia seeds or flaxseeds for added nutrients and texture. Whizz everything together until you get a smooth, velvety blend. Pour it out into a chilled glass. Enjoy!

Simple Green Salad

Begin by selecting crisp lettuce leaves, giving them a thorough wash and a gentle pat dry. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces and place them as the foundation of your salad. Next, slice ripe tomatoes, their juicy segments promising a burst of sweetness. Add these to the lettuce, their vibrant red contrasting beautifully against the green. For a refreshing crunch, slice a cucumber into thin rounds or half-moons, layering them amongst the other ingredients. For dressing, a light drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice will enhance the salad's natural flavors without overshadowing them. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and any herbs of your choosing.

Homemade Apple Sauce

Grab about 4-6 apples (mix and match varieties for fun flavors), ¾ cup water, a pinch of salt, and sugar or honey to taste. For an aromatic twist, toss in a cinnamon stick or a pinch of ground cinnamon. First, peel, core, and chop your apples. Throw them in a pot with the water, salt, and optional cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, letting those apples soften for 20-30 minutes. Once they’re all mushy and the kitchen smells like heaven, mash 'em up with a fork or potato masher. Sweeten if desired, and voilà, you’ve got applesauce! Serve it warm or cold.
