A Savory Waffle With Ham and Egg Recipe

You can make your own version of a Denny's Slam right at home for way less calories.

Yield

Serves: 4

You'll Need

• 4 thick slices Canadian bacon or deli ham
• 4 eggs
• 4 frozen whole grain waffles (We like Van's Gourmet Multi-Grain. Each waffle packs 2.5 grams of fiber and just 95 calories.)
• 2 Tbsp maple syrup
• 4 Tbsp shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Parsley (optional)

How to Make It

• Heat a non-stick skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Coat with a bit of olive oil cooking spray and cook the Canadian bacon for a few minutes on each side, until well browned.  Remove.

• Coat the same pan with a bit more spray and cook the eggs (2 at a time, if you must; avoid overcrowding the pan) sunny side up until the whites have set but the yolks are still runny.

• In the meantime, toast the waffles. Top each toasted waffle with a slice of meat, a drizzle of maple syrup, a sprinkle of Cheddar, and the warm fried eggs.

• Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with parsley (if using).
