Ingredients
4 4 pre-made waffles (or homemade, if preferred)
2 2 large eggs
1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon milk
4 slices 4 slices bacon
2 slices 2 slices cheddar cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste
Equipment
Non-stick frying pan- Toaster
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Paper towels
Directions
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the bacon slices and cook until crispy, turning occasionally. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Once cooked, place the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
- In the same pan used for the bacon (with excess fat drained), pour in the egg mixture. Cook over medium heat, gently stirring until the eggs are just set but still slightly runny for a soft scramble. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, toast the waffles in a toaster or waffle iron until golden and crisp.
- Place one waffle on a plate as the base. Add a slice of cheddar cheese on top.
- Layer on half of the scrambled eggs, followed by 2 slices of crispy bacon.
- Top with the second waffle. Repeat the process for the second sandwich.
Notes
- Feel free to swap out cheddar for your favorite cheese, or add extras like avocado slices or a drizzle of hot sauce for added flavor.
Can I use homemade waffles instead of store-bought?
Absolutely! Homemade waffles add a personal touch and allow you to control the ingredients. You can use your favorite waffle recipe or mix to make them fresh. Just ensure they’re crispy and golden before assembling the sandwich.
What type of cheese works best for this recipe?
Cheddar is a classic choice for this sandwich, but you can use any cheese you prefer. Gouda, Gruyère, or even American cheese works well and adds different flavor profiles.
Can I add any sauces to enhance the flavor?
Definitely! A drizzle of maple syrup adds a sweet contrast to the savory elements. For a bit of spice, consider adding a dash of hot sauce, sriracha, or even a spread of aioli. You can also experiment with flavored cream cheese for a richer taste.
