Ingredients
Scale
Let’s dive into what you’ll need to create these little breakfast delights. Most of these ingredients are likely already in your pantry or fridge, which makes it even easier.
- 6 mini frozen waffles
- 2 large eggs
- 4 breakfast sausage links
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon milk or water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Maple syrup (optional, for drizzling)
If you’re out of something, don’t fret! You can substitute sausage with bacon or even turkey sausage to make it a bit leaner. Use any cheese you have on hand—like mozzarella or Swiss—because in my kitchen, flexibility is key.
Instructions
- Start by cooking the sausage links. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook sausages for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they’re browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- While the sausages cook, beat the eggs in a bowl with the milk, salt, and pepper. This is a trick I learned from my mom: a splash of milk makes your scrambled eggs extra fluffy.
- In the same skillet, add butter and melt over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture. Stir occasionally, gently pushing the eggs across the pan until they’re softly set, about 3-4 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toast the mini waffles in a toaster until they’re golden brown and crisp.
- To assemble your tacos, take each mini waffle and fold it slightly, filling it with a spoonful of scrambled eggs, a sausage link, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
- Optional: Drizzle with maple syrup for a sweet-savory twist. Serve immediately.
Just like with any meal in my house, don’t stress over making them perfect. They’re meant to be enjoyed, messy fingers and all.
