1 cup almond flour or almond meal

1/3 cup vegetable oil

1 1/3 cups whole milk

1 large eggs

Steps

  1. For infused honey, combine honey, garlic and cumin in small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to very low and cook 1 hour, allowing mixture to infuse.

  2. For waffles, in large bowl, combine all ingredients. Whisk together until smooth.

  3. Preheat waffle iron. Working in batches, pour batter into hot waffle iron and cook four waffles in total until golden. Remove waffles and set aside.

  4. For sandwich, In medium bowl, whisk eggs, cream, salt and pepper until smooth, about 1 minute; set aside.

  5. In medium skillet, heat ½ tablespoon oil; stir in onion and balsamic vinegar. Saute 2 to 3 minutes until onions begin to caramelize. Add red bell peppers and jalapeno; season with dash of salt. Saute 3 to 5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp; keep warm.

  6. Meanwhile, per serving, in small, nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat ½ tablespoon oil. Add one quarter of the eggs; scramble over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes until soft but cooked through.

  7. To assemble sandwich, lay one waffle on plate; top with arugula, a portion of sauteed onions and peppers, scrambled eggs and a drizzle of infused honey.
