How to Make Eggo® Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich Recipe
Step 1: Prepare the Waffles
Start by toasting your Eggo® waffles according to the package directions until they are hot, golden, and irresistibly crispy. These become the base and the top of your sandwich, providing a sweet crunch that perfectly complements the savory fillings.
Step 2: Cook the Egg
Next, heat a small amount of butter or cooking spray in a skillet over medium heat. Crack your egg into the skillet and cook it just how you like it — whether that’s sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled. When the egg is almost done, place a slice of your favorite cheese on top so it gently melts into gooey perfection.
Step 3: Cook the Sausage
If your sausage patty isn’t pre-cooked, cook it in the skillet until browned and cooked through according to the package instructions. If it’s already cooked, just warm it up in the microwave or on the stove. That savory sausage adds a meaty punch that balances beautifully with the sweetness of the waffles.
Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich
Now for the fun part! Place one toasted Eggo® waffle on your plate, layer on the warm sausage patty, then the cheesy egg. Top it all off with the second Eggo® waffle. Give it a gentle press, and your sandwich masterpiece is ready to enjoy.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Dig in while it’s warm and melty! Feel free to personalize your Eggo® Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich Recipe with extras like a dash of hot sauce, a smear of ketchup, or even slices of creamy avocado for added flair and flavor.
How to Serve Eggo® Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich Recipe
Garnishes
Don’t be shy with garnishes! A sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper or a pinch of smoked paprika can elevate the flavor profile effortlessly. Fresh herbs like chopped chives or parsley also add a vibrant pop of green that’s as beautiful as it is tasty.
Side Dishes
This sandwich pairs wonderfully with light, refreshing sides. Consider a crisp fruit salad for a sweet counterpoint, some crunchy hash browns for extra comfort, or even a simple mixed green salad to balance the richness.
Creative Ways to Present
Want to impress? Serve your Eggo® Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich Recipe stacked high on a wooden board with small bowls of dipping sauces—think maple syrup, spicy sriracha mayo, or tangy mustard. Alternatively, slice it in half to reveal the gooey cheese and colorful layers inside for an irresistible Instagram moment.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you happen to have leftovers, wrap your sandwich tightly in foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate it for up to two days. This helps keep the flavors intact and stops the waffles from drying out.
Freezing
For longer storage, freeze your fully assembled sandwich by wrapping it well in plastic wrap followed by foil, or placing it in an airtight freezer bag. Frozen sandwiches keep well for up to one month, perfect for quick breakfasts on busy mornings.
Reheating
To reheat, pop the sandwich in a toaster oven or regular oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes until heated through and crispy again. Microwaving works in a pinch but may soften the waffle texture slightly.
FAQs
Can I use Eggo® waffles other than the original flavor for this sandwich?
Absolutely! You can experiment with any Eggo® waffle variety, such as buttermilk, blueberry, or cinnamon, to add your own creative twist and subtle new flavors to the sandwich.
What’s the best way to cook the egg for this sandwich?
There’s no wrong answer here! Whether you prefer your egg sunny-side up for a runny yolk, scrambled for fluffiness, or over-easy for a bit of both, the sandwich will taste fantastic.
Can I make this sandwich vegetarian?
Yes! Swap the sausage patty for a plant-based alternative or a savory veggie patty to keep the sandwich hearty while making it vegetarian-friendly.
Is it okay to prepare this sandwich ahead of time?
You can assemble it ahead, but it’s best to keep the waffles and egg separate until ready to eat to maintain texture and freshness. Or store the whole sandwich wrapped in the fridge and reheat gently before serving.
How can I add more veggies to this sandwich?
Adding fresh spinach, tomato slices, or avocado is an easy way to boost nutrition and flavor. You can layer these veggies right on top of the sausage or the melted cheese before closing the sandwich.
