Savory Waffles With Sausage And Cheddar

19 February 2020 Bookmark • 0

Give your weekend waffles a make-over by adding savory sausage and cheddar. Drizzled with syrup or topped with a dish, these waffles are bound to be a replacement favorite!

And even as quickly, we pulled out the waffle maker to start out testing these light and fluffy, savory waffles crammed with crisp bits of sausage and melted cheddar.

Savory Waffles With Sausage And Cheddar

We’ll stack the waffles two high and top them with fried eggs and a drizzle of syrup .

Because, if you’ve never had waffles that lean towards savory rather than sweet, you’re missing out. Trust me. These waffles contain savory breakfast goodness in every bite and job my memory of a breakfast sandwich if all the weather were mixed together. They don’t need any syrup in the least , but a light-weight drizzle of syrup (if you’re so inclined) fits in pretty nicely.

INGREDIENTS :

1 package (16oz) Odom’s Tennessee Pride Country Sausage
4 oz Cheddar Cheese, grated
4 cups Waffle Batter, prepared (see note)

Optional Toppings:

Fried Eggs
Green Onions, chopped
Maple Syrup
Butter

INSTRUCTIONS :

Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until golden brown and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Set sausage aside to cool for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, grate cheese and prepare waffle batter.
Combine cheese and cooked sausage with waffle batter, stirring just until everything is evenly incorporated.
Heat a waffle iron. Spray with nonstick cooking spray and pour batter into hot iron. Close and cook until waffles are cooked through and golden brown (this took 4-5 minutes in our iron; the waffles are usually done when they stop steaming).
Serve waffles immediately with any (or all!) of the optional toppings.
