Description
Waffle Sausage Egg & Cheese Sandwiches are warm mini waffle breakfast sandwiches stacked with browned sausage patties, buttery eggs, melted American or cheddar cheese, and an optional maple syrup drizzle for a crispy, cheesy, sweet-and-savory breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 mini waffles
- 4 breakfast sausage patties
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices American or cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup, optional
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Toast the mini waffles until warm and slightly crisp around the edges.
- Cook the breakfast sausage patties in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat until browned and fully cooked.
- Add butter to the skillet, then scramble or fry the eggs until just set and tender.
- Place the cheese over the warm sausage patties or eggs so it melts slightly.
- Stack one sausage patty, egg, and melted cheese between two toasted mini waffles.
- Drizzle lightly with maple syrup if you like a sweet-and-salty flavor.
- Serve warm right away for breakfast, brunch, or breakfast-for-dinner.
Notes
- Toast the waffles right before assembling so they stay crisp.
- Add cheese while the sausage and eggs are still hot for the best melt.
- Use American cheese for a smoother melt or cheddar cheese for a sharper flavor.
- Serve maple syrup on the side if you want to keep the waffles from getting soft.
- Cook the sausage until browned for deeper savory flavor.
- For meal prep, cook the sausage ahead and toast the waffles fresh before serving.
- Do not overcook the eggs; soft eggs make the sandwich more tender and creamy.
