Description
A sweet and savory waffle sandwich made with slow-cooked brisket, melted cheddar, and a hint of maple syrup, layered between golden Belgian waffles for the ultimate comfort food experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Belgian-style waffles (homemade or frozen, toasted)
- 1/2 lb slow-cooked beef brisket, shredded
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Optional: spicy brown mustard or garlic aioli for serving
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the shredded brisket to the skillet.
- Stir in the maple syrup, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
- Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the brisket is heated through and slightly caramelized.
- Toast your waffles until golden and crisp if not already done.
- Place one waffle on a plate and layer the warm brisket on top.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the hot brisket so it melts nicely.
- Optionally spread spicy brown mustard or garlic aioli on the inside of the top waffle.
- Top with the second waffle and press gently to form a sandwich.
- Slice in half and serve immediately while warm and melty.
Notes
- For extra crunch, toast the waffles in an oven or air fryer instead of a toaster.
- Substitute pulled pork or shredded chicken if brisket isn’t available.
- To make it spicier, add pickled jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the brisket.
- Gluten-free waffles can be used for a gluten-free version.
