• 45 mL (3 tbsp.) sugar
• 10 mL (2 tsp.) orange liqueur or orange juice
• 125 mL (½ cup) plain Greek yogurt

To make the waffles: in a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In another bowl, beat eggs. Whisk in milk and butter. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until smooth. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare side dishes.

Preheat waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Pour enough batter into the waffle iron to cover ⅔ of the surface. Close the lid.

Cook for about 4 minutes, or until steam comes out of waffle iron and waffles are golden brown and crisp. Keep waffles warm on a rack in the center of the oven at 250°F (120°C).

Repeat with remaining batter.

To make the berry and mascarpone filling: In a bowl, combine berries, sugar and orange liqueur. Set aside.

In a second container, whisk together yogurt, mascarpone and honey.

Pour berry mixture and a dollop of mascarpone over each waffle. Drizzle with honey.

Enfin, for the tasty topping: preheat the grill.

Place a slice of cheese on each waffle and melt under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Top with a slice of bacon, an egg and chives. Drizzle with maple syrup, if desired.

Tips For another variation, replace the bacon with ham and the cheddar cheese with Emmental cheese.
