Happy National Waffle Day!!! Today I’m sharing inspiration from one of my favorite Brunch spots in Fort Worth of Magnolia Avenue…Brewed. I recently tried their Bacon Belgian Waffles and was instantly in love. I knew I wanted to recreate them for the PJ Eats blog, so that’s exactly what I’ve done. Belgian waffles are a little more sweet than your regular waffle. I think that’s what helps elevate this dish. Plus you cannot go wrong with bacon, right?! Sweet Belgian waffles studded with crispy bacon pieces, rich Nutella ganache and an Espresso Whipped Cream to top them off. Get out a glass of milk because you are going to need it!!

Favorite Belgian Waffle Mix (make the 5-6 option)
Extra crumbled bacon for garnish

⅔ cup heavy cream (start with ⅓ cup and add more if needed)

1 - 2 tsp. instant espresso (take 1 Tablespoon of instant espresso powder & mix with 1 teaspoon of water)
