Ingredients

Scale

Waffles

  • 2 homemade or store-bought waffles (classic or flavored)

Eggs

  • 2 eggs (fried, scrambled, or poached)

Cheese

  • 2 slices of sharp cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack cheese

Breakfast Meat

  • 3–4 strips of bacon, sausage patties, or ham slices

Fresh Greens

  • Handful of spinach, arugula, or lettuce leaves

Sauces & Spreads

  • 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup, spicy mayo, or honey mustard (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Waffles: Make or warm your waffles until they are golden and slightly crispy. This will serve as the perfect bread replacement for your sandwich.
  2. Cook the Eggs: Choose your preferred egg style—fried, scrambled, or poached—and cook until just done, keeping them soft and warm for the best texture.
  3. Crisp the Breakfast Meat: Cook bacon, sausage, or ham until crispy and browned to add a rich, smoky flavor and satisfying crunch.
  4. Add Cheese and Greens: Layer cheese slices on the hot waffles or eggs so they melt slightly, then add fresh greens for texture, freshness, and color.
  5. Assemble and Add Sauce: Stack the waffles, eggs, meat, cheese, and greens. Spread your favorite sauce or syrup on one or both waffles before closing the sandwich to enhance flavor without sogginess.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Cut the Breakfast Waffle Sandwich in half for easy handling and serve immediately while warm and melty.

Notes

  • Use Day-Old Waffles: Slightly stale waffles toast better, providing a crispier texture for the sandwich.
  • Layer Wisely: Place sauce on the waffle instead of directly on the filling to prevent sogginess.
  • Don’t Overcook Eggs: Soft eggs create a creamy texture that balances perfectly with crunchy waffles.
  • Toast After Assembling: Warm the fully assembled sandwich in a skillet or panini press for a melty, cohesive bite.
  • Try Different Cheeses: Using a mix of cheeses can enhance flavor depth and meltability.
