FOR WAFFLES:
- ½ cup flour
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 3 strips bacon cooked & crumbled
- ¼ cup baking soda
- ½ cup half & half
- 1 egg
- ½ cup butter melted
- pinch salt
FOR HOLLANDAISE:
- 4 egg yolks
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- salt to taste
In a skillet over high heat, fry the bacon until crisp, then remove from the pan. Reserve the grease. Crumble the bacon when cooled.
Season the thinly sliced chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Using the remaining bacon grease, cook the chicken until no longer pink in the center - about 3-4 minutes per side.
While the chicken cooks, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then slowly add the creamer, egg, melted butter, and maple syrup until a thick batter forms. In a preheated waffle iron, pour 3/4 cups of the batter, then close the iron and cook 2-4 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
As the waffles cook, melt the butter in a skillet over low heat. Whisk the egg yolks in a small bowl and, while whisking constantly, pour the yolks into the butter. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper and season with salt.
Assemble the waffle by placing the chicken breast on top, cover it with hollandaise sauce (and a fried egg if you so desire). Serve hot and enjoy!
