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. After seeing a pin on Pinterest about how to use flaky biscuits to make waffles, I thought… “What if I stuffed some canned flaky biscuit dough with some hearty breakfast-y additions?” So, you know me… I tried it, and y’all it was amazing!

I used ham, egg, and cheese, hence the name Ham, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit Wafflewiches! But you could use nearly anything in the right quantities. Sausage is great in them too! Enjoy!

How to Easily Slice Biscuit Dough

I highly recommend you try to get your hands on some flaky layers biscuit dough. They make this part a breeze because all you have to do is peel them apart! I used the exact kind you see here below by Pillsbury.

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

Now if you can’t find that kind of biscuit dough or you want to make homemade dough, here are a few methods, tips, and tricks I recommend:

Make sure the dough is nice and cold! I recommend doing this process with dough fresh out of the fridge. The cooler the dough, the firmer the dough; and the firmer the dough, the easier it is to slice.
Use a sharp knife! A butter knife or dull knife most likely will lead to a major headache. Apply gentle pressure to your cold biscuit dough with your sharp knife. Then saw back and forth.
Add flour to your surface, knife, and the outside of the cooled dough! This technique prevents the dough from sticking to your knife and surface.
Lightly score the dough before slicing! Take your knife and softly score the dough around the edge. This helps you stay on track even while you slice.

How to Stuff and Cook Wafflewiches:

This video below is super helpful in explaining and showing you exactly how I stuffed the biscuit dough and baked these delicious and hearty Ham, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit Wafflewiches.

If you don’t want to watch that video here are the quick and easy steps to making these breakfast sandwiches turn out just right:

I like to 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.
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.
Serve them immediately or keep them in a warm oven until they are all eaten up.

Can I freeze Ham, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit Wafflewiches?

Yes, these freeze quite well! Make sure to wrap them airtight, individually in aluminum foil. You can reheat them from frozen by either baking them in the oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or you can heat them in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes until heated through.
