Ham, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit Wafflewiches

Stacey – December 3, 2015 – 69 Comments

Jump to Recipe Save Recipe

Ham, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit Wafflewiches are a fun and easy breakfast that's full of flavor! It’s always a challenge to get a hearty and delicious breakfast on the table for us.  It’s just so rushed in the mornings.  So we’re always looking for shortcuts to make a yummy breakfast.  We love using Pillsbury Grands! biscuits just for that.  They’re so easy and cook up perfect in no time.

Ham, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit Wafflewiches are a fun and easy breakfast that's full of flavor!

So when the folks from Pillsbury asked me to create a fun and hearty recipe for breakfast using one of their signature products, I jumped at the chance.  After seeing a pin on Pinterest about how to use the biscuits to make waffles, I thought… “What if I stuffed those things with more breakfast-y goodness first?”  So, you know me… I tried it and it was amazing!  So I present my Ham, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit Wafflewiches!

I used ham, egg, and cheese, but you could use nearly anything in the right quantities.  Sausage is great in them too!

Ham, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit Wafflewiches are a fun and easy breakfast that's full of flavor! Here we go… Start by separating the Flaky Layers biscuits in half and stretching the halves thin to about 5 or 6 inches across.  Slow and steady is the best method for this.

Top them with the cheese, ham, and scrambled eggs.  Place the other biscuit half on top and pinch the edges closed as best you can.  The more you can seal in, the less that will melt out.  ðŸ™‚

Lightly spray a waffle iron (I used a Belgian waffle iron) and place the biscuit-wich in the waffle iron and press the iron flat.

Cook 4 to 5 minutes or until it is golden brown and cooked through.

    Hi,
    I’ve a question and don’t know if it is a dumb one but i hope you’ve an answer for me. I’m from the Netherlands, Europe and i can’t buy pre made biscuits here so i’ve to make them myself. Are the homemade as good as the bought ones to make this delicious breakfast? I hope your answer is positive cos i would be very disappointet when it can’t be done! I’ll keep my fingers crossed till i hear from you. I appologize for any language mistakes i probabelly made but since my speaking language is Dutch and i learned my English over 45 years ago i may have make sé real mistakes! I’m sorry for that. I hope to hear from you soon.
    Have a very nice day and enjoy the nice weather. That is when you’ve just as nice weather as we have today.
    With a hug and a compliment for your blog i sign,
    Marja

      Hi Marja! Thanks so much for your message! I have only made these with the canned biscuits, but understand that you don’t have those there in the Netherlands. I do think it should work just find with thin pieces of homemade biscuit dough, but I’ve not tried it personally. I have plans to make biscuits one day this week and I will save some dough and try it just to be sure.

    I meant after the sandwiches have been made in the waffle iron and frozen. Do I need to defrost in the refrigerator and then reheat in the oven?

    These are amazing! Tomorrow is my daughters first day of school so I decided I’d make these tonight and warm them up in the morning. I had to try one and…Holy moly! So good. I LOADED them up with lots of the ham and eggs and a slice of cheese and they came out perfect.

      Traditional biscuits are a completely different thing. I’m just not sure how they’d work in this case.

    My daughter made these this morning. She had no problem stretching the dough to fit our rectangular waffle iron and was able to seal the edges perfectly (no oozing). Because of this, had there been any leftovers, they could have been popped into the toaster to reheat, as we do when I make a big batch of waffles.

    You may notice that I said “had there been any leftovers.” Even though everyone was running off in different directions, they grabbed a couple as they went by. There was no fight to get everyone to eat breakfast this morning!

    At the store, I also picked up pepperoni, mozzarella slices, and canned pizza crust. I’m thinking this recipe can easily be adapted to make pizza waffle sandwiches. I got turkey pepperoni for the reduced fat, and I’ll probably lay them out on paper towels and zap them in the microwave for a few seconds to pull off more fat before making them. I got a little jar of pizza sauce for dipping.

    I have to admit- these were so good I ate more than I’ll admit to here! My work does a fun breakfast competition between doctors and technicians, and this was my pick…. not only did I win but there were so many happy folks that day for our work weekend, nothing could bring us down!
    So delicious, no issues with anything… the cheese was melty, but it was worth the clean-up!
    I’m sharing this on my blog, and absolutely giving you all the credit.
    Thanks for this great share!

    Goodness I hate to be the one to alter the delicious opinion. My husband and I found them tasteless and dry. They were too big for my waffle iron. They made a terrible mess, which wouldn’t have been a problem if they were delicious.

    Super fun, kids loved them we poured syrup over our finished product. Only thing I’m changing is the egg amount. There was no way I was fitting a full 6 eggs in those biscuits. I will be doubling the recipe and using 6 or 7 eggs for 16 waffles.

      you can buy smaller tubes of Crescent Rolls and Biscuits, with 4 in a tube instead of 8. That’s what I do.
