Ingredients You’ll Need
Gathering your ingredients for this Eggo® Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich Recipe is a breeze because each component plays an essential role in creating the ideal balance of taste, texture, and color. From the crispness of the waffles to the rich layers of egg and cheese, these ingredients come together in perfect harmony.
- 2 Eggo® waffles: These provide the crispy, golden “bread” of the sandwich, adding a delightful crunch and just a hint of sweetness.
- 1 sausage patty (cooked): Offers savory, juicy flavor that’s a hearty complement to the waffles and egg.
- 1 large egg: The protein-packed centerpiece, cooked to your preference for that perfect texture and richness.

How to Make Eggo® Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich Recipe
Step 1: Toast Those Waffles
Start by popping your Eggo® waffles into the toaster, following the package instructions. Toast them until they’re golden brown and irresistibly crispy. This step is crucial because the waffles form the base and top of your sandwich, giving you that perfect crunch that contrasts beautifully with the soft egg and warm sausage.
Step 2: Cook the Egg Just Right
Heat a small amount of butter or cooking spray in a skillet over medium heat. Crack your egg in and cook it how you like: sunny-side up, over-easy, or scrambled. About a minute before the egg is done, place your slice of cheese on top so it melts to creamy perfection. This cheesy egg combo is the warm, gooey heart of the sandwich that you’ll love biting into.
Step 3: Prepare the Sausage Patty
If your sausage patty is raw, cook it thoroughly in a skillet following the package’s guidelines, getting a nice sear on the outside while keeping it juicy inside. If pre-cooked, a quick warm-up in the microwave or skillet is all it needs. This rich, flavorful sausage layer adds a satisfying savory punch that pairs so well with the sweetness of the waffles.
Step 4: Assemble Your Sandwich
Now for the fun part—build your sandwich! Start with one toasted Eggo® waffle, add the cooked sausage patty, then gently place the cheesy egg on top. Close it with the second waffle. This simple stack-up creates layers of flavor and texture that will have you hooked from the very first bite.
Step 5: Dig in and Enjoy
Serve your Eggo® Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich piping hot. Feel free to personalize it by adding your favorite toppings like a dash of hot sauce, a smear of ketchup, or even some fresh avocado slices. Every addition brings new excitement to this already delicious breakfast treat.

Garnishes
A sprinkle of fresh herbs such as chives or parsley can add a fresh pop of color and brightness that complements the sandwich’s rich flavors. A small pinch of cracked black pepper or a dash of paprika on the egg enhances its savory notes beautifully.
Side Dishes
Pair your sandwich with crispy hash browns or a fresh fruit salad for a balanced meal. A side of mixed berries or orange slices can bring a refreshing contrast to the indulgent sausage and cheese, giving your breakfast plate a burst of color and nutrition.
Creative Ways to Present
Try serving the Eggo® Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich Recipe open-faced on a platter, scattering extra cheese shreds and sausage crumbs around for a rustic touch. Or stack mini versions for a party platter—cutting the sandwich into smaller bites makes sharing and sampling super fun and inviting.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you happen to have any leftovers, wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator and enjoy within 1 to 2 days for the best quality. This keeps all the flavors intact while preventing sogginess of the waffles.
Freezing
For longer storage, you can freeze the fully assembled sandwich by wrapping it well in foil and placing it in a freezer-safe bag. When properly frozen, it can last up to one month without losing much of its taste or texture. Just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
Reheating
Reheat your sandwich in a toaster oven or regular oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until heated through and crispy again. Avoid the microwave if possible, as it can make the waffles soggy. This reheating method helps restore that original toasted crunch and melty cheese goodness.
FAQs
Can I use different types of waffles for this recipe?
Absolutely! While classic Eggo® waffles offer that ideal crisp and sweetness, feel free to experiment with flavored varieties like blueberry or cinnamon to add a unique twist to your sandwich.
Is it possible to make this sandwich vegetarian?
Yes! Substitute the sausage patty with a plant-based alternative or a seasoned veggie patty, and you’ll still enjoy a deliciously satisfying breakfast sandwich with all the same textures and cheesy goodness.
What cheese works best in the Eggo® Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Sandwich Recipe?
Cheddar and American cheeses melt beautifully and complement the savory sausage well, but you can also try pepper jack for a spicy kick or Swiss for a nuttier flavor. Choose whatever melts well and suits your taste preferences.
Can I prepare the egg differently?
You sure can. Whether you like your egg fluffy scrambled, softly poached, or a runny sunny-side up, this sandwich adapts perfectly. Just make sure to add the cheese at the right time for that perfect melt.
How can I make this sandwich gluten-free?
Swap Eggo® waffles for a gluten-free waffle variety or even gluten-free English muffins. This simple swap preserves the sandwich’s signature texture and flavor while making it safe for gluten sensitivities.
