VEGETARIAN FOOD: You know, like waffles topped with eggs and cheese! No bacon required. Cohen came to the BuzzFeed test kitchen to show us how she makes this life-changing breakfast mashup.

Officially the dish is called the Canadian Cracker, and Cohen discovered it at the now-defunct Royal Canadian Pancake House. (A mini chain that only existed, oddly, in New York City and Miami and closed in 1998.) Cohen put it on the menu at Dirt Candy, which started serving brunch in mid-September. "Eggs, cheese, carbs — that's what people want," she says.

Cohen's version is a single (large) serving of waffles, eggs, and a ton of cheese, but in her memory, the original was "a giant waffle with, I don't know, 18 fried eggs on it? And just mounds and mounds of cheese."

It's the perfect breakfast for when you can't decide between sweet and savory. And for when you want mounds of cheese.
