Frittata with Waffles

Eager to avail himself of the newly sharpened knives, Raul is up at the crack of dawn. He slices and dices gleefully, hips swiveling in time to the beat-heavy sounds of Cha-Cha De Amor Volume Nine. Red peppers, mushrooms, onions, jalapeno havarti and strips of bacon fall beneath the blades to be transformed into tasty, perfectly cubed nuggets of flavour. The onions and peppers are carmelized, the bacon is fried and all is mixed with eggs and poured into the cast iron skillet and placed in the oven to bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

He decides that instead of toast, there will be waffles. Raul uses The Best Ever Waffle recipe from Food.com and the results are always crispy and tasty.

"The saltiness of the bacon accentuates the sweetness of the waffles," he notes. "Syrup and bacon and all things Canadian."

The stereo cha-cha chants that, "Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets," and Mickey impatiently whines, out of key, for at least a few scraps. And whatever Mickey wants, Mickey gets.
