Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 3/4 cups milk

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or gouda are excellent choices)

1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon or diced ham

1/2 cup chopped green onions (optional)

2 tablespoons butter, melted (for brushing)

Optional toppings: maple syrup, hot sauce, or your favorite aioli

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 200°F (95°C). This will keep your waffles warm as you cook them.

    Prepare the Waffle Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; it’s okay if the batter has a few lumps.

      Get the Waffle Iron Ready: Preheat your waffle iron as per the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring it is sufficiently hot to create crispy waffles.

        Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or use a pastry brush to coat it with a small amount of melted butter. Pour an appropriate amount of batter into the center of the waffle iron (typically between 1/2 to 3/4 cup, depending on your iron), close the lid, and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crispy—this usually takes about 4-5 minutes. Once cooked, carefully transfer the waffles to a baking sheet and keep them warm in the preheated oven. Repeat this process with the remaining batter.

          Assemble the Sandwiches: Take two cooked waffles. On one waffle, layer a generous amount of shredded cheese. Next, add the crumbled bacon or diced ham, and top with chopped green onions if you're using them. Place the second waffle on top to create a delicious sandwich.

            Bake the Sandwiches: Brush the top of each assembled sandwich with the melted butter. Arrange them on a baking sheet and return them to the oven. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the waffles are golden and slightly crispy.

              Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the oven. If desired, slice them in half for easier enjoyment. Serve warm with a selection of optional toppings—think maple syrup for sweetness, hot sauce for a kick, or creamy aioli for dipping.
