waffles and eggs breakfast

A classic American breakfast plate featuring crispy waffles, sunny-side up eggs, and savory sausage links, drizzled with maple syrup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp melted butter (plus more for waffle iron if needed)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 breakfast sausage links
  • 1 tsp butter or oil (for eggs)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: a pinch of paprika or cayenne for topping
  • Maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Make the waffle batter: In a bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, egg, melted butter, and vanilla. Whisk until just combined (don’t overmix).
  2. Cook the waffles: Preheat waffle iron. Lightly grease if needed. Pour batter in and cook until golden and crisp. Keep warm while you cook the rest.
  3. Cook the sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add sausage links and cook, turning often, until browned and cooked through (about 8–10 minutes).
  4. Fry the eggs (sunny-side up): In a nonstick pan over medium-low heat, melt butter/oil. Crack in eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Cook gently until whites are set but yolks are still runny (about 3–4 minutes).
  5. Plate it up: Add waffles to the plate, drizzle with maple syrup, and serve with sausage and eggs. Sprinkle eggs with extra pepper and a pinch of paprika if you like.

Notes

  • For crispier waffles, let the batter rest for 5 minutes before cooking.
  • Adjust cooking time for eggs if you prefer them more or less runny.
  • Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor.
