Bacon and Avocado Waffle Grilled Cheese
Crisp bacon, creamy avocado and melted cheesy goodness made right in a waffle iron! Easy peasy and mess-free!
4 ingredients. One waffle iron.
That’s it.
Sometimes the simplest recipes are best.
But note that you just need plenty of bacon. And avocado. And cheese.
Then you’re golden.
And if you don’t have access to the biscuit dough – no worries.
You can substitute any kind of bread to your liking. The waffle iron doesn’t discriminate.

Bacon and Avocado Waffle Grilled Cheese
Ingredients
- 8 slices bacon, halved
- 2 avocados, halved, seeded and peeled
- 1 16-ounce tube refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
- 4 slices Wisconsin American cheese
Instructions
- Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the top and bottom of the waffle iron or coat with nonstick spray.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add bacon and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mash avocado with a fork until the desired consistency is reached; set aside.
- Working in batches, place each biscuit into the waffle iron. Close gently and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
- With a butter knife, spread avocado on each of 4 biscuits. Top with bacon, cheese and remaining biscuits.
- Place sandwiches in the waffle iron. Close gently and cook until golden brown and the cheese has just melted, about 3-4 minutes.
- Serve immediately.

phenomenal. easy and a hit with a family of 6 with 4 kids and 1 that is VERRRRRRY picky. thank you! we are adding to the morning rotation.
I bought a waffle maker and all the ingredients to make this delicious-sounding recipe but I have one question. Are the biscuits really supposed to be cooked twice? I did the first batch of biscuits (step 4) and they look nice and brown. Won’t they be too done if they get waffled a second time (step 6) with the fillings on them?
By the way, your photos are gorgeous!
Not at all. They should be okay! 🙂
I wish I had a waffle maker! Would love to try this savory version!
This seems to be perfect waffle recipe!! Thanks again
the photos made me do a double take to make sure I wasn’t seeing things, nope I wasn’t, so now I have to congratulate you on an inspired recipe, thank you!
What a fantastic idea – I don’t usually comment on something I haven’t made but I just thought this was so clever I had to!!
The bacon with avocado waffle grilled cheese sound crispy and tasty.
This looks fantastic! I’m always sold on the use of avocados in any capacity and of course, bacon is a clear winner!

Mmmm breakfast for dinner! Can’t wait to make this!
Every time I see any waffle recipes I wish I had a waffle maker! Would love to try this savory version! Looks pretty delicious! 🙂
So what I’m really reading is the waffle iron is a super fast way to cook the biscuits.
My iron has flat inserts so I could make really quick biscuits/sandwiches instead of the “minutes” of pre-heating & cooking in the oven.
