BLT Waffles (Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato)
This creative waffle recipe combines the basics of the classic American BLT – Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato – sandwich. The crispy waffle adds a new dimension to the well-known flavor combination, which is both savory, fresh and filling. The crispiness of the bacon, the juicy sweetness of the tomato, and the freshness of the lettuce are in perfect harmony with the soft-centered, golden-brown waffle base. This BLT waffle is an excellent choice for breakfast or a hearty snack. Tip: Always dry the lettuce well so that it doesn't soak the waffle. When serving, avoid using the outer parts of the lettuce leaf, which are used for decoration – only use the fresh, inner leaves, and do not leave leaf stems or decorative elements on it!

Preparation Steps
1
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. This is your base dry mixture, which should be combined first to ensure a good consistency.
2
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk and melted butter. Whisk until smooth, then pour into the dry ingredients and mix into a smooth batter.
3
Wash the tomato and slice it thinly. Wash the lettuce leaf thoroughly, dry it, and tear it into smaller pieces – making sure there are no stems or leaf tips left when serving.
4
Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy, then drain the excess fat on paper towels. Cut into smaller pieces or leave in slices if serving the waffle as a sandwich.
5
Preheat the waffle iron, grease it with butter or oil, then cook the waffles for 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
6
When serving, pile lettuce, tomato slices, and cooked bacon on top of the waffle. Important: use only the cleaned inner part of the lettuce leaf, not as a decoration, but as an edible layer. There is no visible stem or leaf decoration on the image.
