Egg and Waffle Shortcakes

Here’s a nice way to use frozen waffles, whether you purchase them or make and freeze your own, as we do.  This makes a quick Sunday brunch, or breakfast-for-supper meal.  It’s a pleasant change from sweet-topped waffles.  

I usually lay out my whole package of bacon on a rack in a half-sheet pan or two and bake them at 400° for 20 minutes; then lay the cooled bacon on double sheets of waxed paper and roll up the paper and bacon and put them in a gallon freezer bag.  That way, I can just microwave a few pieces, about 1 minute for 2 pieces.   We toast the waffles while the eggs poach, and we’re ready.
