Pete loves making breakfast on the weekends. It’s one of his favorite things to make. His go-to breakfast recipe is potato hash with breakfast sausage and cheese.
If I’m the one making breakfast, I’m usually going to make some fancy-feeling breakfast that you’d otherwise see at a diner or tea party.
Why go out when you can eat fancy at home, right?
So if I’m cooking, I’m making these Scrambled Egg And Cheese Stuffed Waffles.
You make scrambled eggs, slice some cheese, and stick that between two flattened refrigerated biscuit dough halves. That’s then cooked on the waffle maker to give you a really beautiful, golden, fluffy waffles, with tasty egg and melted cheese inside. And you didn’t even have to mix any waffle batter to make these.
It’s nice for Sunday at home or when you have company you want to impress.
If you’re looking for another fun way to use your waffle maker (that’s not a traditional waffle recipe), try our Croffles recipe. Those are stuffed croissants cooked on the waffle maker.

Scrambled Egg And Cheese Stuffed Waffles Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons skim or whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 8 count pack of refrigerated biscuits
- 4 oz. cheddar cheese
How To Make Scrambled Egg And Cheese Stuffed Waffles:
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Gently break the yolks of the egg with a folk.
Add the milk.
Add the salt and onion power.
Mix together.
Heat a small saucepan over medium high heat.
Add the butter.
When the butter starts to sizzle, pour in the egg mixture.
Stir constantly until the scrambled eggs are completely cooked. Set them aside.
Quick note: Don’t worry if the eggs cool to room temperature while you’re doing the rest of the steps. The eggs will heat up in the waffle maker later, so you won’t be eating cold eggs. I promise.
Cut one of the refrigerated biscuits in half.
Gently roll one half out and into a circle-ish shape that’s about 1/4-inch thick.
Roll out the other half to be similarly shaped.
Slice the cheese into thin slices and add 1/8 of it onto one of the biscuit halves.
Put 1/8 of the egg mixture on top of the cheese.
Put the other biscuit half on top.
Squeeze the sides of the dough together so there aren’t any visible gaps where the cheese might ooze out.
If it’s easier, you can roll the bottom dough half up and around to the top half, then squeeze.
Put the dough into a hot waffle iron.
Depending on if your waffle maker is nonstick or not, you may need to spray some nonstick spray oil before you add the biscuit.
Cook for about three minutes until the biscuit dough is golden brown.
Continue until you finished all of the stuffed waffles.
Serve as is or with your favorite toppings, like melted butter and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Stuffed Waffles: Frequently Asked Questions
Store any leftover Stuffed Waffles in an airtight container in the fridge. You should eat them within five to seven days.
If you aren’t going to eat them in that time, you can freeze them. Then, take them out and reheat them. That’s actually a really easy way to meal prep and have an easy breakfast on a busy weekday morning.
You can either reheat Stuffed Waffles in the air fryer at 370 F for about five minutes. You could also reheat them in the oven at 350 F for about ten minutes, flipping them halfway through.
I don’t recommend reheating them in the microwave because the dough will get really soft and won’t have the nice crunchy texture you had originally.
If you’re having overnight guests and you want to prep for them, you can absolutely make these the day before and then just heat them up for breakfast the next day.
Another great make ahead breakfast for guests is our Overnight French Toast Casserole.
We never recommend bagged shredded cheese in any recipe where you want the cheese to melt. Bagged shredded cheese has preservatives to keep it from clumping together in the bag. Those preservatives also prevent them from melting as well as a block of cheese does.
So, if you shred a block of cheddar cheese and use that, it works too. But slicing is a little quicker and saves a little time, which is why we use slices in this recipe.
If you want to try something different next time, you can add crispy bacon or breakfast sausage pieces. You just need those to be cooked before you add them.
If you want to keep it vegetarian, you could add diced bell peppers instead.
If you want something sweet, you could fill these with Nutella. That would be similar to our Croffle recipe, which is made with crescent dough.
The only thing I wouldn’t recommend is whipped cream because it would just melt from the heat or syrup because that would get really hot and may burn you when you eat it. Syrup or any fruit jelly may also seep out and make a mess of your waffle maker.
I’ve never tried using homemade batter with these.
You can try adding some batter at the bottom of a waffle maker, then the filling, then adding some additional batter on top to cover the filling. This should work, but since I haven’t tried it, you’ll have to let me know how it goes.
If you don’t have a waffle maker, you can’t make stuffed waffles. You can, however, make stuffed biscuit sandwiches.
Make these as is, the cook them in a pan on the stove top instead of in the waffle maker. If you have a bacon press, you could use that on top to squish the biscuit dough down and to add grill marks to give these a little of the texture you get from the waffle maker.
You could also make these in a panini press, if you have one of those. Again, you wouldn’t really be able to call them waffles, but it will still taste good.
