Broccoli & Cheese Veggie Tots Waffles with Bacon and Eggs

Prep Time

5 m

15 m

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
Heat a 6- to 7-inch waffle iron to medium-high heat. Spray liberally with cooking spray. When ready, open and arrange the Veggie Tots, touching each other, to fill the iron. Close and press firmly. Cook 5 minutes.
Remove and place on a wire rack over a sheet tray. Hold warm in the oven. Repeat to make a second waffle.
Crack eggs into a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook until outer edges become opaque, about 1 minute. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until whites are completely set, about 4 minutes.
Cut each waffle in half. Serve each half topped with 2 slices of bacon and 1 fried egg. Garnish with scallions and hot sauce, if desired.

Tip: Thaw veggie tots on the counter for 1 hour before cooking, or place them in the refrigerator in the morning to thaw by dinnertime.
