Waffle Sliders With Candied Bacon

This waffle slider is made by sandwiching candied bacon, a beef patty, and a fried egg between two waffle slices. The maple-candied bacon adds a touch of sweetness, while the runny egg makes the waffle rich and savory.

Ingredients
  

Burgers:

  • ½ lb ground beef (80/20)
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper

Buttermilk Waffles:

Instructions

For the Burgers:

  • Preheat a griddle or indoor grill to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the ground beef, salt, and pepper to a medium mixing bowl. Stir until just combined. Using your hands, form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties.
  • Place the burgers on the griddle and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side (USDA recommends a safe internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit). Once fully cooked, place the burgers on a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.

For the Buttermilk Waffles:

  • Preheat a waffle iron.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking soda, and cornmeal. Set aside.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg yolk, and melted butter. Set aside.
  • Add the egg white to the bowl of a stand mixer. Whip on medium-low speed until foamy, then increase the speed to medium-high until stiff peaks form, about 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Slowly add the buttermilk mixture to the dry ingredients while gently stirring. Once the ingredients have been combined, gently fold in the egg whites.
  • Spray the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray. Add an appropriate amount of batter to the waffle iron, following the manufacturer's instructions (for my waffle iron, I add half of the batter). Cook the waffle until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Place the waffles on a rimmed baking sheet and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.

Assemble the Waffle Sliders:

  • Cut the waffles into quarters. Top one of the waffle quarters with a slice of candied bacon, beef patty, and a fried egg. Top with a second waffle quarter and secure the slider with a skewer.
  • Repeat with remaining waffle quarters, bacon, patties, and eggs to make 4 sliders. Serve immediately.
