Heat oven to 375 F and bake bacon to crisp on a slotted broiler pan (about 20 min). Preheat waffle iron to high (400 degrees). Whisk the dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl, whisk milk egg and melted butter together. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and combine. Stir in cheddar cheese and herbs. Brush waffle iron with melted butter and fill iron with batter (1 1/4 cup). Cook waffles to crisp. Keep warm in a low oven until all waffles are made. Cut into 8 waffles. Top waffles with maple syrup, bacon and an egg cooked over-easy.
