Ingredients You’ll Need
This Eggo® Sausage, Egg and Cheese Sandwich comes together with just five simple ingredients, each one playing a pivotal role in creating that irresistible, café-worthy flavor and texture. You probably already have most of these on hand, and trust me, each brings its own magic to every bite.
- Eggo® waffles: The crispy, slightly sweet foundation for your sandwich; use classic, buttermilk, or spice things up with cinnamon for a fun twist!
- Sausage patty: Brings a punch of savory, spiced flavor and juicy texture; use pork, turkey, or a plant-based patty to suit your diet.
- Large egg: Provides richness and creaminess—cook it any way you love, from fried to scrambled.
- Cheddar cheese slice: Melts over the hot egg, tying everything together with its sharp, gooey goodness.
- Butter or oil (for cooking): Ensures your sausage and egg cook evenly and adds a hint of richness.
How to Make Eggo® Sausage, Egg and Cheese Sandwich
Step 1: Toast Your Waffles
Start by popping your Eggo® waffles into the toaster and let them go until they’re perfectly golden and crisp. A good toast not only gives you a sturdy base for the sandwich, but it also adds that delightful crunch that contrasts beautifully with the creamy egg and gooey cheese. Don’t walk away—waffles can go from golden to burnt quicker than you think!
Step 2: Cook the Sausage Patty
While the waffles are toasting, grab your sausage patty and cook it in a small skillet over medium heat. You’ll want both sides to be browned and heated through, which takes just a couple of minutes. This step unlocks all those mouthwatering spices that make sausage so addictive, setting the stage for that classic Eggo® Sausage, Egg and Cheese Sandwich flavor profile.
Step 3: Prepare the Egg
In the same skillet (saves on cleanup!), add a little butter or oil if the pan is dry. Crack in your egg and cook it to your preferred doneness—fried with a runny yolk, firm, or even scrambled, it’s all up to you. If you want to make it extra special, go for the yolk just barely set so it oozes out into each bite.
Step 4: Melt the Cheese
Just before your egg finishes cooking, lay a slice of cheddar cheese on top. The residual heat will help it melt into a gorgeous, gooey blanket that hugs the egg. Give it a minute—watching cheese melt is one of life’s small pleasures!
Step 5: Assemble and Enjoy
It’s assembly time! Place one toasted Eggo® waffle on a plate, then layer the sausage patty, cheesy egg, and top with the second waffle. Press down gently to help everything meld together. Dive right in while it’s still piping hot for the ultimate Eggo® Sausage, Egg and Cheese Sandwich experience.
How to Serve Eggo® Sausage, Egg and Cheese Sandwich
Garnishes
Honestly, the Eggo® Sausage, Egg and Cheese Sandwich shines all on its own, but if you want to get a little fancy, try a sprinkle of fresh chives, a grind of black pepper, or even a dab of hot sauce on top. For extra color and flavor, a few slices of ripe avocado or a handful of baby spinach can take your breakfast to new heights.
Side Dishes
If you’ve got a little extra time in the morning, serve your sandwich with a side of crisp hash browns, fresh fruit, or a leafy green salad for contrast. Coffee or fresh orange juice make natural drink pairings. The slight sweetness of the waffles also makes it fantastic alongside a warm fruit compote or maple syrup drizzle if you really want to treat yourself!
Creative Ways to Present
For guests (or Instagram!), slice your Eggo® Sausage, Egg and Cheese Sandwich into halves or quarters and skewer them with frilly cocktail picks. You can even build a DIY sandwich bar with different cheeses, eggs, and add-ons like bacon or sautéed mushrooms, letting everyone assemble their perfect creation.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you somehow resist eating it all at once, wrap any leftover Eggo® Sausage, Egg and Cheese Sandwich tightly in foil or plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge. It’ll stay tasty for up to two days, though the waffles may soften a bit—which some people actually prefer!
Freezing
You can freeze assembled sandwiches for grab-and-go breakfasts later on. Let everything cool completely, wrap tightly, and tuck into a freezer-safe bag. Frozen Eggo® Sausage, Egg and Cheese Sandwiches will keep well for a month. To keep them at their best, separate each sandwich with a piece of parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking.
Reheating
To reheat, pop the sandwich (unwrap first!) into the microwave for 1–2 minutes until hot, or use an oven or toaster oven for crispier waffles. If microwaving, place a damp paper towel over the sandwich to help prevent it from drying out. Either way, you’ll be back to melty cheese and crispy waffles in no time!
FAQs
Can I use egg substitutes or plant-based sausage?
Absolutely! The Eggo® Sausage, Egg and Cheese Sandwich is super flexible, so feel free to use egg replacers and your favorite plant-based sausage and cheese if you’re keeping things vegetarian or vegan.
What’s the best way to prevent the sandwich from getting soggy?
Make sure your waffles are toasted until crisp and let any cooked ingredients cool slightly before assembling, especially if you’re wrapping them to eat later. If you do get some softening, a quick re-toast in the oven works wonders!
Can I add extra ingredients?
Definitely. Try adding sautéed peppers, onions, spinach, sliced tomato, or hot sauce for a flavor boost. The Eggo® Sausage, Egg and Cheese Sandwich is basically your blank breakfast canvas.
Is this sandwich kid-friendly?
Kids love it! The sweet-and-savory combo, melty cheese, and fun shape are always a hit. You can even cut the sandwich into bite-size pieces for little hands or swap cheddar for their favorite cheese.
Can I double or triple the recipe?
Yes, it’s easy to scale up for a family breakfast. Just line up your sausage, eggs, and waffles assembly-style, and you’ll have a batch of Eggo® Sausage, Egg and Cheese Sandwiches ready in a flash.
