Cornbread Sausage & Cheddar Waffles

Change up your traditional waffle batter with a cornbread batter instead. And if that isn’t enough change I am telling you to add in crispy fried sausage and sharp cheddar cheese. Your taste buds will be singing your praises after the first bite of cornbread waffles.

I feel like when it comes to breakfast dishes you are either a pancake person or a waffle person. Me? I am team waffle all. the. way. This post is dedicated to my fellow team waffle mates. *high five* Now that I have a kickass waffle maker I have cranked out some pretty darn good waffles over the years. A professional style waffle maker has totally upped my waffle game. In fact, I have thrown several waffle brunch parties since purchasing it. Waffles for everyone is my motto.

cornbread sausage cheddar waffles

While my go-to waffle recipe is just fine sometimes I like to shake things up a little bit. Lately, I have been craving these Cornbread Breakfast Muffins -which are 100% awesome -but I also wanted something waffley. The dilemma, I know. My solution was to put the sausage and cheese into a cornbread waffle and top that ish with a fried egg. A+++ solution if you ask me.

If you are the type of person who makes cornbread from a box (no shame!) you can totally do that here too! I love Glutino Yankee Cornbread for a gluten free option. Skip the part of the recipe that involves mixing up a cornbread batter and instead follow the instructions on the box, then add in the cooked sausage and cheddar cheese, and proceed from there. 👌🏼

Have you stepped outside the tradition “waffle box”? Let me know what other types of waffles you’ve made.

  1. Yum! Love the idea of using cornbread batter for the waffles. It sounds perfect with the sausage and cheddar. Such a great way to start the day!

  2. I am definitely a waffle person! 😀
    It’s a dessert which we enjoy, we don’t use it as a breakfast dish in our parts and I have to confess I never thought of having a savory flavored waffle dish. I love the idea and your dish is just smashing!

    1. Oh yay! I am glad I could introduce you to a new take on waffles. I think you could skip the egg and pair with a bowl of soup for a fantastic dinner.
