Effortless Back-to-School Mornings with Bacon, Havarti, and Peach Wafflewiches

Just like that, summer breezes fade into the crisp air of autumn, signaling the inevitable return to school routines. The quiet days of spontaneous adventures are replaced with the bustling energy of school supply shopping, lunchbox packing, and the renewed rhythm of early bedtimes. While I still find myself wishing for a few more weeks of carefree summer, the reality of “Back to School” is upon us, and it’s a feeling shared by my children, too.

It feels like just yesterday my son was a toddler, and now he’s embarking on first grade! My daughter, not far behind, is enjoying her final year of preschool. Time truly flies, and watching them grow brings a mix of joy and bittersweet nostalgia. Each year marks new milestones, new discoveries, and new opportunities for learning and creativity.

A cherished tradition in our home is asking the kids on the first day of school what they aspire to be when they grow up. My son, a steadfast dinosaur enthusiast, has declared himself a paleontologist since the age of three, and I fully expect the same answer this year. My daughter, ever the dreamer, often chooses a princess—be it Ariel, Elsa, or simply “a princess.” Their boundless imagination never ceases to amaze me. I often find myself listening quietly from another room as they spin elaborate tales, like a brave triceratops needing to rescue a princess from a perilous volcano. These moments of pure, unadulterated creativity are truly the essence of childhood.

Fueling Imagination: The Magic of Crayola and Eggo

My home office walls tell a story, adorned not with expensive artwork, but with a vibrant gallery of my children’s creations. Each drawing, painting, or scribble holds a special memory, making me smile more than any store-bought decoration ever could. That particular drawing on the far left? It’s a simple sketch of my son and me under a Christmas tree, the very first piece he proudly handed me, explaining its meaning. My heart melted into a million tiny pieces that day. It sparked my love for our personalized art gallery.

My son has been drawing for as long as I can remember, and keeping our art supply box stocked is a constant mission. Now, with my daughter also showing a keen interest in coloring, our art collection is expanding, filling the walls with even more cherished memories. That’s why “Back to School” season at Target is my favorite time to stock up on Crayola products. They’re affordable, famously WASHABLE (a lifesaver for parents!), and consistently offer the best quality. Crayola + Back to School means endless creative possibilities!

This year, my son and I made our annual “Back to School Date Night” trip to Target. After efficiently checking off all the school supply essentials from our list, we headed to the grocery section for snacks and lunch items. Our first stop was the freezer aisle, a crucial mission to replenish our supply of Eggo waffles. My son has requested a “waff” every morning since he could first speak, making Eggo a staple in our home. Stocking up is key to ensuring busy school mornings run smoothly.

I was thrilled to discover a fantastic promotion: save $5 on Crayola products with the purchase of three specially marked Eggo products! This deal perfectly aligns with our needs, allowing us to fuel both creativity and delicious meals. Plus, you can download a super fun activity booklet from Target.com, packed with coloring pages, doodles, and engaging activities that kept my kids entertained for hours. It’s an incredible resource for fostering creativity and keeping them happily engaged, sometimes even together!

Introducing the Bacon, Havarti, and Peach Wafflewich: A Versatile Meal Solution

I truly appreciate how Eggo and Crayola allow me to nourish my children’s minds and bodies simultaneously. While they dive into their colorful activity books or tackle homework, I can quickly prepare a batch of delicious Bacon, Havarti, and Peach Wafflewiches. These aren’t just for breakfast; Eggo waffles are incredibly versatile, making fantastic sandwiches, delightful desserts, and even fun kebabs. We particularly love spreading peanut butter and apple slices on the cinnamon brown sugar Eggo waffles – it’s a simple, yet incredibly satisfying snack!

The day after our Target shopping spree, a rainy afternoon had the kids feeling restless as lunchtime approached, and I was certainly ready for a moment of peace. Remembering the activity booklet from the Eggo box, I decided it was the perfect opportunity to make our Bacon, Havarti, and Peach Wafflewiches. I quickly printed out booklets for each child, armed them with Crayola crayons and markers, and watched them happily immerse themselves in creative play while I prepared lunch. Bingo! I had found the ultimate back-to-school afternoon combo: engaging activities and a scrumptious, easy meal. These wafflewiches and coloring sessions are now my secret weapon for keeping them busy and fed while I prepare dinner.

Recipe: Bacon, Havarti, and Peach Wafflewiches

These Bacon, Havarti, and Peach Wafflewiches are truly as simple as they are delicious, making them an ideal choice for busy families seeking easy back-to-school meals. The combination of savory, sweet, and creamy textures creates a gourmet-level experience with minimal effort.

Ingredients:

• 1 box Eggo Waffles (Buttermilk variety recommended for a classic base)
• 10 slices Havarti cheese (known for its smooth, buttery melt)
• 10 slices bacon, cooked until crispy
• 5 tablespoons peach jam (or preserves, for a burst of sweet fruit flavor)

Instructions:

1. Begin by preparing your Eggo waffles. You can toast them in a toaster until golden brown and slightly crisp, or for a softer texture, microwave them for about 30 seconds to defrost. This step creates the perfect foundation for our wafflewiches.
2. Carefully place one slice of creamy Havarti cheese onto each waffle. Havarti melts beautifully, contributing a rich, buttery note to the sandwich.
3. Next, gently spread about 1/2 tablespoon of sweet peach jam over the cheese on each waffle. The peach jam adds a delightful contrast and juicy sweetness that elevates the entire flavor profile.
4. On five of the waffles, layer two slices of your perfectly cooked, crispy bacon over the peach jam. The bacon provides a satisfying salty crunch that complements the other ingredients.
5. Top each of these bacon-layered waffles with another waffle (cheese and jam side down), creating a complete sandwich.
6. Preheat your panini press. Once hot, place the assembled waffle sandwiches inside and press them until the Havarti cheese is beautifully melted and oozing out, and the waffles are warm and slightly crispy.
7. Remove from the panini press, slice in half or into fun triangles, and serve immediately. For an extra touch of deliciousness, offer additional peach jam for dipping!

There’s truly no better combination of flavors and textures than crispy, salty bacon, creamy, buttery Havarti cheese, and sweet, juicy peaches, all held together by a warm, fluffy Eggo waffle. These wafflewiches are simply wonderful! I found myself making one for myself after seeing how much the kids enjoyed them, and I’m sure you will too.

Creative Serving Ideas: Waffle Kebabs

One afternoon, while the kids were happily coloring their activity booklets and I was making these delicious Bacon, Havarti, and Peach Wafflewiches, I had a fun idea: turn them into colorful kebabs! I cut the wafflewiches into smaller pieces and threaded them onto skewers with fresh grapes and strawberries. The kids absolutely loved this playful presentation! It was a simple way to earn some extra “cool mom” points.
