Ingredients

Waffles

  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • cup vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 strips bacon
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Hollandaise

  • 4 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 2 egg yolks
  • juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • salt and pepper
  • dash of paprika

Remaining ingredients

  • 3 cups spinach
  • 2 poached eggs

Instructions

  • Prepare waffle batter. In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour - salt). Make a well in the center and add buttermilk, oil, and butter. Let rest for 30 minutes.
  • While the batter is resting, cook bacon. Heat nonstick pan over medium heat. Add bacon strips and cook until crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and chop into small pieces.
  • Preheat waffle maker. Do not butter or spray non-stick spray on the waffle maker. Pour batter in an even layer and sprinkle half the bacon and cheese on top. Cook waffles until golden brown and cheese have melted.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the hollandaise. Pour hot water into a blender. Close the lid and let sit 10 minutes. Drain and dry blender.
  • Microwave coconut oil for 30 seconds. Add egg yolks, lemon juice and Dijon in a blender. While the machine is running, slowly pour coconut oil into the mix, letting the sauce emulsify. Continue to blend until thick. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add spinach and saute until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Assemble the waffles. Place spinach in the center of each waffle, and top with a poached egg. Finish with hollandaise. Serve.
