Waffle Breakfast Taco

Close up of Waffle Breakfast Taco

INGREDIENTS
FOR THE WAFFLES –
1 Cup all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 Teaspoons baking powder
1/4 Teaspoon salt
3/4 Cup plus 2 tablespoons milk
3 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1 Egg

FOR THE TACOS –
1 Tablespoon olive oil
6 Eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 Cup shredded colby jack cheese
8 Small or 4 large cooked sausage patties
Sriracha, for drizzling (optional)

DIRECTIONS
Combine all ingredients for waffles in a medium bowl just until smooth. Let sit for 5 minutes.

Heat waffle iron according to manufacturer's directions. Grease iron, if desired.

Ladle one quarter of the batter (about 1/4 cup) onto waffle iron. Close and cook until indicated by waffle iron (or when iron stops steaming). Remove waffle from iron and set on a plate. Repeat with remaining batter.

Heat a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add oil.

Whisk together eggs, 2 tablespoons water and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Pour into skillet. Scramble until cooked through. Fold in shredded cheese.

Divide waffles among four serving plates. Top one half of each waffle with scrambled eggs. Top with one or two sausage patties. Drizzle with sriracha if desired, then fold over like a taco.
