Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Make 6-8 homemade waffles, cut into 1-inch pieces (You should have about 8 cups). Place on a baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes until crisp. Remove and turn oven temperature up to 375 degrees.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, syrup, vanilla and kosher salt until well combined. Add crisped waffle pieces and bacon. Gently stir mixture together until waffles pieces are coated with the egg mixture. Let sit for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally

Pour mixture into a buttered 8x8x2-inch baking dish, pressing down as you go, making sure it all fits in the pan. Cover with foil and bake for 50 minutes. Remove the foil during last 20 minutes of baking. Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup and whipped cream.
