Print Recipe

A quick and delicious breakfast sandwich featuring crispy thick-cut bacon, melted sharp cheddar cheese, fried eggs, and waffles for a perfect sweet and savory bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 frozen or homemade waffles (buttermilk waffles recommended)
  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 4 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional)
  • Maple syrup for drizzling (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon: Place 8 slices of thick-cut bacon in a cold non-stick skillet. Turn heat to medium and cook 4–5 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  2. Toast or reheat waffles: Toast frozen waffles in a toaster for 2–3 minutes until crispy. For homemade waffles, warm lightly in a pan with a little butter.
  3. Fry the eggs: In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Crack eggs in and cook until whites are set but yolks remain runny (about 2–3 minutes). Season with salt and pepper. Flip if desired for over easy.
  4. Assemble the sandwich: On two waffles, layer 4 slices of crispy bacon, then place a slice of sharp cheddar cheese on top while bacon is hot to melt cheese. Add fried egg on top. Spread mayonnaise on the other two waffles and close the sandwich.
  5. Final touch: Place sandwich back on skillet over low heat for 1–2 minutes to warm through and meld flavors. Press gently with spatula and watch cheese melt without burning waffles.
  6. Optional: Drizzle maple syrup over the egg before closing the sandwich for a sweet-savory flavor.

Notes

Cook bacon slowly on medium heat for best crispiness. Warm waffles until crispy to avoid sogginess. Melt cheese on hot bacon before assembling. For vegetarian options, substitute veggie bacon and vegan cheese. Avoid microwaving assembled sandwich to keep waffles crisp.
