What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Home Cooking: Wholesome Waffle BBLT! You’ve never tried a waffle sandwich before? Me, either. Since I had some Belgian waffles in the freezer from the last time we pulled out the waffle iron, I thought today would be a great day to transform a classic BLT sandwich into something wonderful. The waffle dough keeps the sandwich soft and chewy, rounding off and eliminating the sharp edges of toast. The extra B, you ask? It’s for the subtle hint of bleu cheese; Bacon-Bleu-Lettuce-Tomato!
WHOLESOME WAFFLE BBLT
Ingredients:
1 Belgian waffle, quartered
6 slices black pepper bacon, cooked crisp
Romaine lettuce leaves
Sliced tomatoes
1 tablespoon Bleu cheese, crumbled
1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
Instructions:
Warm waffle wedges on low heat in a skillet brushed with a little butter. Do not let burn. Remove from heat. In a small bowl mix mayonnaise, yogurt, and Bleu cheese crumbles. To assemble sandwich, spread the mayonnaise blend on one waffle. Next, layer tomato, lettuce, and bacon. Top with another waffle. Secure the stack with a toothpick.
I need to buy bacon.

Blue cheese? You’re a GENIUS!!
On Mon, a friend and I were discussing BLTs. For awhile, I had a great “cheat”… Walgreens sold “bacon jerky”, which was just cooked bacon (with prob extra preservatives). It was awesome for slapping onto bread for a quick BLT!! But blue cheese… I never thought of that!!

Soooo was the jerky hard to chew? I’m a fan, but can’t quite handle the toughness of it. 😜🍃

No! It was just cooked bacon – nothing jerky about it! Really weird marketing but I figured it meant more for me!!

But we don’t make waffles, so I’ll have to get ready-made ones.
