When you have time to sleep in late and still have time to prepare breakfast, these bacon-topped waffles are ideal for lazy weekend mornings. They are scrumptiously hard to refuse.

I was working with a different recipe from a magazine and it wouldn’t even get to soft peaks with 3 different tries. This one came out perfectly. You do need the cream of tarter like recommended above. The whipping process once the sugar is in takes a while, about 20 minutes- I’m not positive because I wasn’t timing it.

I used Truvia, and it still turned out fluffy and turned golden in the oven. I didn’t have the lemon extract so I used a little juice. It’s on a chocolate pie I made with Truvia, also. I haven’t tasted the combined effort as yet, but it tasted good going into the Pillsbury crust. Thanks!

This was a very easy recipe, tastes delicious and it came out perfectly. The only thing I omitted was lemon extract because I didn’t have it in the house.

I didn’t have lemon extract, but it sounds good. The trick with meringue is to have a dry bowl and beaters, and to not overbeat it. Worked for me.
Zachary Alexander

This is a good standard meringue. You can add 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar to help stabilize the meringue if you like.
