I found the original recipe for this great breakfast-for-dinner idea over at Amy’s Cooking Adventures. Putting an egg on top of batter in a waffle iron sounded like a pretty nifty approach to me, so I dove right in and made some waffle iron eggs and biscuits. This really is breakfast-in-a-bite. Everything you need. Everything you want. I thought these were a really fun idea. And they really hit the spot, too. I didn’t really need help loving waffles any more but these certainly made that happen.
Expect A Little Mess. It’s Worth It.
I have to warn you, you’re going to make a mess making these waffle iron eggs and biscuits. There’s really no way around it. No matter how gently you close the lid to the waffle iron, somewhere along the line you’re going to pop a yolk and it’s going to run out. That’s ok, though. It’s worth the mess.
You can change these up to suit your tastes. Turkey bacon. Turkey sausage. Egg substitutes. Different cheeses. No cheese. Those kinds of things. But I wouldn’t suggest changing up the maple syrup. Real maple syrup is a magical thing. Nothing comes close to the flavor and aroma of the real thing. So don’t skimp on it. Skimp on other things if you have to, but not the syrup!

Melty Love
To get the best melty cheese, you need to shred it yourself. That store-bought bagged stuff has ‘stuff’ on it that keeps it from sticking together, but doesn’t help it melt any. Quite the opposite actually. I use my trusty countertop manual shredder for times like these. It can crank out (literally) a ton of perfectly-shredded cheese in a matter of minutes. And cleanup is a breeze. I just disassemble the unit and pop it into the dishwasher on the top rack.

Waffle Iron Eggs and Biscuits
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups Bisquick plus a little more for dusting
- ⅔ cup low fat milk
- 4 slices bacon cooked, drained, crumbled
- 1 cup cheese shredded (Swiss, cheddar, whichever you prefer)
- 6 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into pats
- ½ pound breakfast sausage cooked drained, crumbled
- maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron as directed by the manufacturer and spray with non-stick spray as needed
- Combine biscuit mix and milk until a dough forms.
- Lightly dust a cutting board with more baking mix. Roll the dough out using a rolling pin until it is about 1/4″ thick. Cut into shapes slightly smaller than your waffle iron. (Our waffle iron is round. I found a saucer that was just smaller than the iron and used that as my template for cutting the dough).
- Working in batches, place the dough pieces onto your waffle iron. Sprinkle with some bacon and cheese and top with a single egg each. (If you sprinkle the cheese in a circular pattern, creating a sort of ‘well’, the egg will not slide off as easily).
- Very, very gently lower the top of the waffle iron and cook until done.
- Serve topped with butter, sprinkled with the breakfast sausage crumbles, and drizzled with pure maple syrup.
