Description
Mini Sausage and Egg Waffle Tacos are a delightful twist on breakfast, combining fluffy waffles with savory sausage and scrambled eggs for a tasty morning treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 small breakfast sausages (Turkey, pork, or plant-based)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped chives or green onions (for garnish)
- Salsa or hot sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Make the Waffle Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the buttermilk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese.
- Cook the Sausages: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausages until browned and fully cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and slice each sausage into halves.
- Preheat the Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease with cooking spray or brush with oil.
- Cook the Waffles: Pour a scoop of waffle batter into the waffle maker, spreading it evenly. Cook until golden brown and crispy, typically 3-5 minutes. Repeat this process until all the batter is used, making about 6-8 mini waffles.
- Scramble the Eggs: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and pour in the egg mixture. Cook gently, stirring frequently, until the eggs are just set and soft, about 2-3 minutes.
- Assemble the Tacos: Take a mini waffle, spoon a portion of scrambled eggs in the middle, and place a couple of sausage halves on top. Fold the waffle over to create a taco shape.
- Garnish and Serve: Top with chopped chives or green onions and serve warm with salsa or hot sauce on the side.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add diced jalapeños to the egg mixture.
- You can make the waffle batter ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Feel free to customize the fillings with other ingredients like peppers or avocado.
