Instructions
Combine all waffle ingredients, except bacon and cheese, in a large bowl. Stir in bacon & cheese. Scoop approximately ½ c. batter onto hot waffle iron. Cook until waffle iron indicated “done”. Batter should make 4-6 waffles
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, half & half, salt and pepper. In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 TBSP oil. Cook eggs over medium heat, stirring frequently to scramble. Do not over cook.
Heat a saucepan filled ¼-1/2 with water to boiling. Reduce heat to simmer water. In a small glass or stainless steel bowl, whisk egg yolks and lemon juice. Slowly drizzle in melted butter. Place bowl over simmering water (create a double boiler). Whisk frequently until sauce is thick and smooth. Stir in cayenne, salt & pepper.
To serve:
One waffle, an ice cream scoop of eggs in the middle with hollandaise sauce drizzled on top. Sprinkle with parsley or chives.
