These Egg Waffles are ready in one minute and easy to customize. Such a fun twist on an omelet and after trying an egg waffle you’ll never want to cook eggs in a pan again! A quick & easy, healthy breakfast!

Hi friends!

I first shared these Egg Waffles over five years ago and they’re still just as fun and clever as they were back then. It’s like all the goodness of an omelet, in a form of an egg waffle that you could eat with your hands if you really wanted to….and you don’t have to fight the never-ending battle with eggs sticking to a pan. 

I mean, does it get much better? When I make mine I usually include:

  • Chicken sausage – but any kind of breakfast sausage will do. 
  • Chopped veggies – peppers and onions are my go to.
  • Cheese – totally optional

I may never cook eggs in a pan again. I have a new best friend. My (egg) waffle makerir?t=thlegrbe00 20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00006JKZN. (Affiliate link to the one I have!)

These egg waffles were SO easy. They’re ready in under a minute. Just quickly spray your waffle maker with oil or rub a stick of butter across the top and bottom and BOOM!  there’s no messy pan to clean up!

  4. Top with sausage, veggies and cheese.
  5. Shut waffle iron and hold firmly closed for about 15 seconds.

I didn’t include quantities because you can make as many as you’d like. Just use two eggs per “waffle”, add whatever mix-ins you want and cook for a minute or so. Make sure your waffle iron is clean so there aren’t crumbs for the eggs to stick to and make sure to oil it beforehand like you would if you were making regular waffles.

Ready in one minute and easy to customize, after trying these Egg Waffles you'll never want to cook eggs in a pan again! A quick and easy, healthy breakfast!

As long as I lightly oiled the waffle maker beforehand, these didn’t stick at all, making cleanup a breeze! If you don’t mind reheated eggs – ie if you’re someone who could make an egg casserole and eat it all week long, you could change things up and make a big batch of these and reheat all week long for breakfast!

Let’s chat:
Have you tried these? Are you going to? What mix-ins will you add to yours?

Enjoy!

    I saw something floating around Facebook a while ago about all these different things you could make with your waffle maker- brownies, cinnamon rolls, eggs, etc. I remember thinking it was too good to be true. Glad it really works because I was hesitant about the sticking. I would love to try this. I only have a large Belgium waffle maker but I suppose I’d just need to use more eggs. Excited!

        Well, actually that’s one of the reasons I’m here. I googled this and found you. But I got the idea via a local restaurant here in Nashville, called Love Coffee. They have these, but there’s little bits of soft white potato in them. So good. Thank you. I was really leery about the stick. My iron is a good one—after buying and trashing at least two. It’s nonstick. But I’ll take your advice and spray….Off to the kitchen!
