Keto Bacon & Cheese Waffles

What a flavour combo!

Waffle lovers you’re going to love these easy low-carb bacon and cheese waffles. This recipe is adapted form our Cheesy Low-Carb & Keto Waffles, an all-time keto favourite!

For a bit of fun I pressed the bacon into the grain-free waffle batter. It goes all crispy when you bite through the cheesy waffles.

These waffles are so versatile. You can eat them on their own, I like them simple with some slices of avocado or a fried egg, or you could use them as a side for soup or serve with a salad like our Healthy 5-Minute Tuna Salad or 5-Ingredient Keto Chicken Salad, or even add some quick hollandaise!

Here's our tip for meal prep: Double the batch, freeze and reheat in the oven when needed. You've got a quick and easy breakfast option anytime in under 5 minutes. They are great for lunchboxes too!

Step-by-step

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C/ 355 °F (fan assisted), or 200 °C/ 400 °F (conventional). Place the bacon on a greaseproof lined baking tray and par roast in the oven until almost crispy (about 15 minutes).

   

2. Place the eggs and cream cheese in a mixing bowl and mix with a balloon whisk until combined.

3. Add the grated cheeses and all the dry ingredients: flax meal, coconut flour, garlic and onion powder, dried herbs, baking powder, salt and pepper. Mix well.

   

4. Pour the batter into a preheated waffle maker. Add 2 small strips of cooked bacon and cook for 1 – 2 minutes. The exact cooking time depends on the waffle maker.

   

5. When cooked, place on a serving plate and allow to cool.

   

6. Optionally, serve with fried eggs and/or more crispy bacon. Store any leftover waffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
