Egg and cheese waffle sandwich
This flavorful egg and cheese waffle sandwich makes for such a deliciously filling breakfast, you may want to have it for dinner as well.
This Recipe includes
| Plain waffles – plain eggo waffles (or any other brand) are preferable, rather than a flavored version. |
| Eggs – for plenty of protein |
| Cheese – any type of grated cheese (gruyere, parmesan, cheddar, emmental, etc.) |
| Lemon juice – for a bit of tang |
| Cream cheese – I’m using Philadelphia cream cheese, but I have also used greek yogurt for a lower fat version |
| Parsley – 2-3 sprigs of chopped parsley |
| Garlic – garlic powder to flavor the cream cheese, but you can also use crushed garlic. |
| Salt and pepper |
Why we love it
When all you have is waffles in the house and you’re looking for ways to spice them up, this delicious egg and cheese waffle sandwich may become your new favorite thing.
The classic breakfast ingredients just got a new twist that may let you get away with serving this for a lunch or dinner that no one is going to complain about.
Now, you can serve it as a Scandinavian style open-faced sandwich, or top it with a 2nd waffle to make a proper sandwich (if you want to carry it to the office, for example).
Other variations of this sandwich is to switch up the toppings on the waffle with some smoked salmon and cream sauce.
What to serve with it?
This egg and cheese waffle sandwich can easily be served it with any sort of salad or vegetable, such as air fryer garlic fries or a gizzard salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing. You can also serve it with a soup like this homemade carrot soup.
How to store it?
If you do wish to prepare this egg and cheese waffle sandwich in advance, I recommend keeping the cooked scrambled eggs in a separate glass container than the waffle, so that the waffle doesn’t become damp.
