6 large eggs
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon kosher salt
8 slices bacon, sliced into thirds
½ cup maple syrup, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or butter. Bake waffles on a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes, or until crispy, flipping halfway through. Or, cook in a toaster according to package instructions. Once toasted, cut into quarters and set aside. Mix eggs, milk, salt, and vanilla extract. Dunk ⅓ of waffle sections into egg-milk mixture then layer on bottom of casserole dish. Scatter ⅓ of bacon pieces over waffles. Repeat until all ingredients are used. Drizzle ½ cup maple syrup over top. Cover casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake covered for 45-50 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until waffles are crispy and golden brown. Serve with butter and more maple syrup, if desired. Enjoy!
