Cheddar & Bacon Mini Waffle Sandwiches

1.Preheat your mini waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions and lightly grease it with cooking spray or oil.

2.In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.

3.Add the shredded cheddar cheese, almond flour, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and chili flakes to the eggs. Stir gently until a uniform batter forms. The batter will be thick due to the cheese and almond flour.

4.Pour approximately 2-3 tablespoons of batter into each mini waffle mold, spreading slightly to fill. Close the waffle iron and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside. Repeat until you have 12 mini waffles.

5.In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels and set aside.

6.In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and mustard together. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

7.To assemble each sandwich, spread about 1 teaspoon of the mayo-mustard mixture on one mini waffle.

8.Layer one slice of ham, one slice of cheese, and 1-2 slices of crispy bacon on top.

9.Top with another mini waffle to close the sandwich.

10.Repeat assembly for all 6 sandwiches.

11.For best results, you can warm the assembled sandwiches in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to slightly melt the cheese and meld the flavors together.

12.Serve warm as a hearty brunch or snack.
