Jalapeno Popper Stuffed French Toast Waffles... WHAT!?!
That's right. When the five year old said he wanted breakfast for dinner tonight I jumped right on it. He is going through one of those fun phases where he won't eat anything, except eel sushi (I know, right?) and mac and cheese.
I'm not a huge fan of breakfast, give me a protein shake or a kind breakfast bar any day, and I'm even less inclined to eat the usual sweet breakfast fare, but I wanted to accommodate my picky eater.
So off to Pinterest I went and found a recipe for french toast waffles. Bingo! My big kid loves waffles, but how could I turn this into something the hubs and I would eat.
I love jalapeno poppers and since you can turn cream cheese, jalapenos, and bacon into a filling for almost anything, why not french toast.
We made a basic version of french toast for the kid, eggs, milk, cinnamon and sugar and dipped slices of bread into the egg mixture and cooked on the waffle maker. In a separate bowl we mixed the eggs for our adult breakfast for dinner and everyone was happy.
For the filling:
4 oz Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 C shredded Cheddar Cheese
2 Jalapenos
3 Green Onions
2 pieces Bacon, crumbled
1/2 C shredded Cheddar Cheese
2 Jalapenos
3 Green Onions
2 pieces Bacon, crumbled
For the french toast:
8 pieces of Sourdough Bread
8 Eggs
1/3 C Milk
8 pieces of Sourdough Bread
8 Eggs
1/3 C Milk
Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and roast jalapenos for 15 minutes, turning them halfway through.
Meanwhile start cooking bacon (you know you want to cook extra to go with your waffles) and mix together 2 pieces of crumbled bacon with cream cheese, cheddar, and green onions. When jalapenos are finished cooking cut into medium sized pieces, and add either half or all the jalapeno depending on the spice level.

Spread filling on 4 pieces of bread and top with remaining slices. Heat up waffle maker.
Mix 4 eggs and milk with salt and pepper in a pie plate. Dip sandwiches into egg mixture and cook on waffle maker. Place done sandwiches in oven to keep warm. when sandwiches are done cook remaining four eggs sunny side up. Serve on top of your jalapeno popper stuffed french toast.
