Hi friends!
I had another post all ready to go for today, but then I made lunch yesterday and I just had to share. Egg waffles. They’re one of those things you see floating around on Pinterest and think, “Oh, that’s really cool.” Then you pin it a couple of times and never get around to actually making it.
Well, the thought of these randomly popped into my head last night when I was thinking about how I could use up two extra sausages I had laying around. I was too lazy to head back to Pinterest to find an actual recipe but I decided to just give it a whirl and see what happened. Honestly, I was expecting it to be a major bust, but you guys, these are life changing.
I may never cook eggs in a pan again. I have a new best friend. My (egg) waffle maker
These egg waffles were SO easy. They’re ready in under a minute and there’s no messy pan to clean up!
PrintEgg Waffles
Ready in under a minute and easy to customize, you’ll never want to cook eggs in a pan again.
Ingredients
- Eggs
- Sausage (pre-cooked)
- Peppers, onions or other veggies
- Cheese, if desired
- Oil
Instructions
- Grease waffle iron and heat to medium setting.
- Crack 2 eggs in a bowl and whisk to combine.
- Pour eggs into waffle iron.
- Top with sausage, veggies and cheese.
- Shut waffle iron and hold firmly closed for about 15 seconds.
- Let go and let cook for another 30-45 seconds.
- Open and remove with a fork.
- Repeat as many times as desired.
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.
As long as I lightly oiled the waffle maker beforehand, these didn’t stick at all, making cleanup a breeze! You could 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 love making a batch of these during my weekly food prep session. If you liked this post, you’ll love my ebook – The Ultimate Guide To Food Prep. It dives into even more detail about how to food prep, troubleshoots common problems and provides tons of tips to make it easier! Click the image below for more details.
GENIUS! This looks SO fun and so easy and I can only imagine the varieties of flavors I will come up with! You can get really crazy with ideas!! Thanks for sharing Lindsay! xo C
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!
yep i would think it would work with maybe 4 eggs? i gotta try dessert next!
Love this Linds! I’ve been obsessed with doing it with mashed potatoes…oops.
ooh that might be a way i could handle eating them!
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!
you KNOW KNOW KNOW WE LOVE these here too.
(it was the first way the child <3'ed her eggs)
I was hoping you’d post this today! Going to try asap!
enjoy!
Amazing! These are awesome for a great idea for busy mornings or kids. But the best part is having another use for my waffle iron!
agreed. i’m tackling dessert waffles next 🙂
I started making these a while ago because you are right, they are fast and easy (and stressless!). I recommend them and give your waffle maker a second life.
can’t believe i’ve waited this long to try them!
These look so good! I have a waffle stick maker these would totally be fun in 🙂
ooh that’d be awesome!
This is a genius idea! Now if only I had a waffle maker. 🙂
gotta get on that!
MUST.GET.WAFFLE.MAKER!
yes! you need one!
I LOVE this idea! Maybe this is how I can get Baby D to eat eggs??
worth a shot!
what a great idea!
What a fantastic idea! and then you get little pockets for condiments too 😀
yes! crucial!
This is genius!! I actually haven’t seen this before, but I’ve seen a lot of other things you can make with a waffle iron besides waffles… brilliant! Can’t wait to try it out and I think my husband would really like it too!
yay! hope it’s a hit!
I think I’ll try this this weekend – looks fun!
woohoo! enjoy!
Great idea! I’ll have to try this. I’m all for easy, but different recipes for breakfast.
let me know what you think!
This is life changing! I absolutely hate cleaning the pan after eggs and I have a waffle maker that does not get used nearly enough! I’ll definitely have to try this out! I would make an egg waffle with mushrooms and peppers 🙂
sounds delish! enjoy!
What’s great is that you can also use leftover meats and mix it with te egg and put it on the fell too to get rid of the leftovers!
yep! perfection!
Love this idea, how creative and fun! Next month is nutrition month, if you’re doing a post for it I would love to share it on my blog since you are such an expert.
don’t have one planned yet but maybe!
OMG – LOVE and with my MucleEggs in hand – YES, I will try!!!!!
Oooo, I saw these somewhere! They sound great. Now if only I had a waffle iron… 🙂
garage sale season is coming 🙂 bet you could find one for cheap!
Love this idea…And cannot wait to try it once I have some more veggies in my fridge…Heading to Costco tomorrow! 😉
yay! stock up!
These are genius, Lindsay! I’ll have to try out a veg-friendly version. Pinning for later 🙂
thanks Hannah! Enjoy!
So I totally don’t eat any of that, haha, but so fun! Waffles irons are THE best!
I’m legit doing this tomorrow morning! Thanks for sharing!
hope you enjoy them!
I’ve been meaning to try to cook more non-waffle things in my waffle maker. Must try these!
i’m thinking brownie waffles are next on my list 🙂
Wow, these are genius! I would have never thought of it. I actually haven’t even seen them floating around on Pinterest, so thanks for sharing- yet another reason I need to get myself a waffle maker!
yes! get one asap! then you can make waffles that are as delicious as those pancakes you just posted!
This is so interesting! I’ve never heard of egg waffles before but it’s such a good idea!
you should definitely give them a try!
I just got a waffle maker of my own! I had one at home but not in SF… I’ve been thinking of other things to do and love this hassle-free way to cook eggs!
Life-changing is definitely the only word for these! 🙂
I can’t wait to see what the texture of these is like! I can’t decide if I think they will be soft like an actual waffle or slightly crispy… Looking forward to finding out!
I must be behind the times b/c I have never seen egg waffles before. Brilliant! I hate cleaning the pan from scrambled eggs and omelettes, which is why I usually stick to frittatas. I think I need to buy a waffle iron just to make these!
I love finding quick things I can make in a waffle maker! My bright idea last year was to take cookie dough and make cookie waffles. I was super lazy and used premade dough, but they were so delicious and quick!
I definitely want to try this out so thanks for sharing!
Yum! Really love this idea. Anything with eggs and sausage is delicious by me 🙂
This is genius and the final push I needed to finally invest in a waffle iron
So smart!! This is awesome. My mind is already spinning with possibilities!
wow this is such a creative idea! i bet you could make a bunch in advance also and then reheat throughout the week, kind of like egg cups!
yep! we made for lunch and reheated for dinner!
You’ve convinced me to finally try these!! Can’t wait for breakfast tomorrow. My son will LOVE them!
hope they were a hit!
OMG- you’re a genius!
And now I can add one more kitchen appliance to the list. This sounds awesome!! 😀
definitely a must-need!
Genius idea!! I’m on it!
enjoy!
Oh I like this!
Such a good idea.
Wow- this makes me feel dumb for not attempting sooner! So simple, yet genius 😀
right?! that’s how i felt!
love this! i didn’t eat eggs until 3 months ago and have discovered that i love them BUT they have to be cooked really well (i.e. frittatas, egg muffins, etc.). so i’m always on the lookout for egg recipes that i’ll like. totally going to make these!!
These look delish! My brother texted me earlier the week with a link to a video about using your waffle iron for everything from cinnamon buns to biscuits. I am seriously not using my waffle iron enough! This I have to try though, I’m always looking for quicker ways to make eggs, and this makes them perfect sandwich size.
yep! perfection! i gotta try cinnamon buns!
I can’t believe I haven’t come across these before – It could definitely tempt me to get my waffle iron out again!
I have been so bored of breakfast lately. This is a brilliant idea and now I can enjoy my eggs again.
I love this idea! I literally hate making eggs in a pan cause they usually always stick so I”m gonna have to try this!
I found this recipe today and made it before work…it’s brilliant! Thank you for posting!!
P.S. Your blog is fantastic!
thank you so much!
I am overrun with extra eggs from my backyard hens…can I make a lot of these and freeze the extra? Will they freeze well?
i suspect they will, but i haven’t tried it myself!
