For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the waffle batter. Fresh herbs can be substituted for dried herbs. Use about 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs for every 1 teaspoon of dried herbs. The onion sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese in the waffle batter. Gruyere or cheddar would be delicious alternatives. If you don't have whole wheat flour, you can use all all-purpose flour. The waffles will be slightly less dense. For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and add some sauteed mushrooms or spinach to the waffle batter.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large, deep skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until evenly browned and crispy, about 5 minutes per side. (Approx. 10 minutes)
02
StepDrain the bacon slices on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess grease. Once cooled slightly, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
03
StepPreheat your oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C) to keep the finished waffles warm and crispy. Preheat your waffle iron and lightly coat with cooking spray to prevent sticking. (Approx. 5 minutes)
04
StepIn a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, dried rosemary, dried sweet basil, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
05
StepIn a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and Dijon mustard until well combined. This creates a smooth and flavorful wet mixture.
06
StepPour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough waffles. A few lumps are okay!
07
StepPour approximately 1/3 cup of batter into each square of the preheated waffle iron. Cook until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per batch. (Approx. 3-4 minutes per batch)
08
StepPlace the prepared waffles in the preheated oven to keep them warm and crispy while you cook the remaining batter.
09
StepIn a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, sugar, and minced onion until well combined. This creates the cool and tangy onion sauce.
10
StepTo serve, drizzle the onion sauce evenly over the warm waffles and sprinkle generously with the crumbled bacon. Serve immediately and enjoy!
