Instructions
Place a sheet of parchment paper on a sheet pan. Lay bacon on the paper in a single layer and place in oven. Turn oven to 400°F and bake for 18-20 minutes or until crispy, turning the slices over halfway through. Remove cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Chop the bacon and set aside.
Lower oven to 250°F. For keeping waffles warm during cooking process, place a wire baking rack in a sheet pan and set in oven.
Combine flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk buttermilk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Drizzle in melted butter while continuing to mix.
Add wet ingredients to dry and stir until just combined. Fold bacon, chives, and cheddar cheese into the batter. Set some bacon and chives aside for garnish.
Allow batter to rest for 10 minutes. Insert Waffle Plates into the Flex Press Grill and begin to preheat the Grill.
Grease the cooking surfaces with a small amount of cooking oil. Pour about ½ cup of batter onto bottom cooking surface and cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes.
Transfer cooked waffles to wire rack to keep warm in oven and repeat with remaining batter.
To serve, top with butter and more chopped bacon and chives and enjoy this savory snack!
