JUMP TO RECIPE

I’ll be the first to admit: Breakfast can get boring. Especially when you have zero time in the mornings. It’s easy to get stuck on repeat. That’s what I’m here for! Take for instance this spicy bulgogi mushroom bacon paired with a crispy, butter vegan waffle recipe pepper with earthy scallions. It may sound extravagant but I can assure you it’s pretty easy to make. While it may not be the weekday breakfast fix you’re looking for it’s definitely perfect for a Sunday Funday vegan brunch.

Let’s dive in to how to prepare this recipe.

Gather Ingredients for Mushroom Bacon

You’ll want to start by preheating your oven to 300* F. Then to make mushroom bacon is surprisingly simple. Here’s what you’ll need:

Portobello Mushroom
Olive Oil
Kosher Salt
Omsom Spicy Bulgogi Sauce

Once you’ve cleaned your mushroom you’ll want to thinly slice it. This is what will ensure your mushroom bacon is crispy and I don’t know about you but I prefer cripsy bacon… otherwise what’s the point?!

After the portobello mushroom has been thinly sliced, you’ll want to coat them in olive oil. You’ll do this by tossing the mushroom slices in about one to two tablespoons of olive oil. Ensuring the mushroom bacon slices are evenly coated. Next, sprinkle with kosher salt, lightly toss again and then spread mushroom slices out onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Allow your mushroom bacon to bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Then flip onto the opposite side and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes or until crispy.

Gather Ingredients for Vegan Waffle Recipe

While your mushroom bacon is baking you’ll be able to easily prepare this vegan waffle recipe. This recipe has been adapted from the Scallion Cornmeal Waffle shared on NYT Cooking’s website. Here’s what you’ll need to prepare this vegan waffle recipe:

White Cornmeal
All-Purpose Flour
Dark Brown Sugar
Baking Powder
Red Pepper Flakes
Kosher Salt
Egg Substitute
Almond Milk
Apple Cider Vinegar
Scallions
Olive Oil

Prepare the vegan waffle recipe

Now prepare your scallion cornmeal waffles. To do this simply add all of your dry ingredients to a bowl, whisk. Then add all the wet ingredients to a bowl, whisk. Now add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until most of the lumps have been removed. The batter will be thick.

Next add about 1/4 cup of the mix at a time to the mini waffle maker and allow to cook for 3 to 5 minutes until desired crispiness. Set aside until ready to eat.

Once bacon is finished cooking gently brush the slices with Omsom’s Spicy Bulgogi sauce. Serve as a side with the scallion cornmeal waffles and enjoy!
