Watch Me Make It
This cinnamon roll waffle breakfast sandwich pairs crisp-edged cinnamon roll waffles with sausage, egg, melted American cheese, and a sweet frosting drizzle. Making these is a fun option for a breakfast spread or weekend brunch.
Why This Recipe Works
Evenly flattened sausage patties cook more consistently and fit neatly inside the cinnamon roll waffles. Adding the cheese after the sausage is cooked through gives it time to melt without overcooking.
Cooking the cinnamon rolls in a waffle iron creates a set exterior around the soft dough. Save the frosting for assembly so it stays smooth and does not scorch in the iron.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces breakfast sausage
- American cheese slices
- Cinnamon rolls
- Eggs
- Frosting from cinnamon rolls
How to Make It
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Split the breakfast sausage into six equal-sized pieces and form into balls.
Place the sausage balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Flatten the sausage balls by placing a piece of parchment paper over the top and pressing with a spatula or burger press until roughly three to four inches across.
Season with your favorite seasoning. Place the patties into the oven to cook until there is no pink in the middle, reaching about 165 internal, which will take about eight to 10 minutes. Cook to doneness first.
Before removing, place a slice of American cheese on each patty and allow to melt for two to three minutes. While the sausage is in the oven, heat up a nonstick waffle iron or spray with nonstick spray.
Place a cinnamon roll inside the waffle maker and press down. Cook until cooked through with the lid closed, which will be between 90 seconds and three minutes, depending on your cooker.
Remove the cinnamon roll waffle and build your sandwich with egg, sausage, and a drizzle of the frosting from the cinnamon rolls over the top. Serve hot.
Tips and Variations
Use a thermometer to verify that the sausage is fully cooked rather than judging by color alone. Keep utensils, plates, and surfaces used for raw sausage separate from the cooked patties and other sandwich components.
Wait until each cinnamon roll waffle is set and releases cleanly before opening the iron. Opening it too early can tear the soft dough.
Assemble the sandwiches while the sausage, egg, and cheese are hot so the cheese stays melted and the waffle keeps its crisp-and-soft texture.
