Dice the bacon into small pieces, then cook in a skillet until crispy. Set aside to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs, then add the milk and melted butter. Mix well.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
Stir in the grated cheddar cheese and cooked bacon for an extra burst of flavor.
Preheat a mini waffle maker and lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Pour a small amount of batter into the waffle maker to create mini bites, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let the cooked waffle bites cool for a few minutes, then sprinkle with fresh chives for the perfect finishing touch.
Serve immediately, optionally with sour cream or mustard dip for an even richer flavor experience.
