Why don't you try doing it French toast style? Dip the bread into some lightly beaten egg and put the bacon inside the toasty? Of course, you would probably have to pre-cook the bacon, which makes for extra work I suppose. Which in turn probably defeats the purpose. But worth a try

Did you put the egg side on the outer side of the iron?
I tried similar with the egged french toast on the inside and the egg barely cooked, with tomato, onion, ham.

David, try a lower heat. The egg on the outside will brown up and burn pretty quick with too much heat leaving the inside raw so you will need to take it nice and slow.

An old bushie fellow met at the Highfields Pioneer Museum on the Boxing Day Public Holiday said to cover your Jaffle Iron with about 1/4 inch of salt and bake it like seasoning it, and it will be non stick.
Does this work?

I tried out the bacon and egg toasty for breakfast this morning, last breakfast for the year. I fried the bacon in frying pan then fried the toast in the same pan, no extra work at all.

A picture to keep you all happy.

Aha! I merely suggested it might be worth a try - I never said I had actually done it! Grin

But, like Derek suggested, I think a lower heat would help it to cook through, plus if you put your freshly cooked bacon inside the heat from that would help to cook the egg as well. I think if you have too much stuff inside it will probably burn the outside by the time the inside cooks.

I have done french toast in the JI. Low and slow is certainly the catch phrase. Can take up to 10 mins to cook, but it is given a bit of a blast of heat to brown off at the end.

A furphy, is Australian slang for a rumour, or an erroneous or improbable story. You would never get anything but the plain honest dinky-di truth here... I promise!!!! Yup, hand on my heart, promise, true blue, uh-huh true dinks, dead set!!

The breakfast I had this morning was easy to do, I just turned the heat down for the toasting, the two slices of bread actually stuck together with the egg mixture as they cooked, so I new when they were cooked. I made one for our son and he enjoyed it as well.
