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.
