Great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes.
When my son was little, we called it “upside-down day”!
Waffles for supper are an especially comforting way to end the day.

Theyre relatively quick to make from scratch and they change up the meal routine in an unexpected way.
Any break in routine feels slightly festive, no matter how simple.
They’re good any time of day, really – breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner.

No matter how much we feast, we still need to eat the next day!
The fried egg on top isnt mandatory, but it makes this into a more substantial meal.
My method for making asunny-side-up fried eggis to cook it covered and over low heat for about two minutes.

Low and slow wins every time for a pretty, smiley egg.
But dont wait for a special occasion to make these waffles.
Just mash them with a fork and measure out the amount needed for this recipe.

Drain on paper towels.
Break each slice into a few pieces (large pieces or crumbles, whichever you like!).
In a bowl, whisk the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt until combined.
Sally Vargas
Separate the yolks and whites into separate bowls.
With an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
Add the dry ingredients and stir until blended.
Sally Vargas
Gently fold in the egg whites.
Stir in the scallions, reserving a few for sprinkling over the top.
Brush or spray the waffle iron with vegetable oil.
Sally Vargas
Top with a few bacon pieces and exit the lid.
Bake the waffles until brown and crispy.
Repeat until all the batter is used.
Sally Vargas
Keep the finished waffles warm in the oven while you make the eggs.
In a skillet over low heat, melt the butter.
Swirl the pan to coat the bottom.
Sally Vargas
Break the eggs into the skillet, and cover the pan.
Drizzle a little honey on each waffle and top with a fried egg.
