This Parmesan waffle breakfast sandwich with ham, cheese and fried egg is what brunch (or breakfast) dreams are made of.

Parmesan waffle, ham, cheese and egg breakfast sandwich

I love breakfast but I admit it is the last thing on my mind when I am running late for work, have two young kids to get to school (like herding cats) and am trying to balance a cup of coffee and put mascara on at the same time.

Breakfast is a bit more of an event during the weekend when we can finally relax a little and take some time to enjoy a proper meal, a couple of cups of coffee (or three, who’s counting) and catch up before inevitably having to rush off again to the various activities my daughter has planned.

Weekend breakfast (or brunch depending on whether we get a chance to sleep in – a rarity) is a feast in our family and these parmesan waffle, ham, cheese and egg breakfast sandwiches are our latest plat du jour chez Ryan.

You may have noticed my recent obsession with waffles – Lesley Knope has the right idea “We need to remember what’s important in life. Friends, waffles, and work. Or waffles, friends, work.”

Yup, waffles are the BEST and savoury ones are perfect for making sandwiches. I love using cheese, ham and fried eggs as fillings but pretty much any combination would work and I plan to have some fun trying them all.

I used Clover original spread in this recipe – it is made with buttermilk, contains half the fat of butter and no artificial ingredients making great for everyday family use. This recipe was commissioned by Clover.

Ingredients

  • 300 ml | 10.1fl oz semi-skimmed milk
  • 200 g | 7oz self raising flour
  • 3 tbsp Clover or unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • <br>
  • To serve
  • a little Clover to spread on the waffles
  • fried eggs cheese, ham*
  • Dijon mustard and light mayonnaise

Instructions

  • Place the flour, baking powder, Parmesan, chopped parsley and sugar in a large bowl and mix together with a fork.
  • Beat the egg and milk together in a measuring jug.
  • Add the liquid ingredients to the dry and whisk together briefly until combined. Let the batter stand for 20 minutes (or make in advance and keep in the fridge).
  • Melt the Clover in the microwave on a low heat setting for about 40 seconds.
  • Add the melted Clover to the batter and stir it in until incorporated.
  • Preheat the waffle maker until the ready light indicator turns on. Pour enough batter to cover just under 2/3 of the waffle maker surface and close the lid.
  • Cook until the machine beeps or until the waffles are golden and crisp. Repeat with the rest of the batter.
  • Spread a little butter or Clover over the waffles while they are still warm. Cut into quarters.
  • Spread a little Dijon mustard and light mayonnaise on the waffles and add thinly sliced cheese (Comté, gruyere or strong Cheddar are all great options), wafer thin honey roast ham and top with a fried egg. Sandwich together and enjoy immediately.

Notes

6 waffles will make 12 sandwiches so if you don't want to serve as many you can keep half the batter in the fridge to use the following day. Omit the cheese and add 1 tbsp sugar to make sweet waffles.

    Lucy – flour is self RISING, not self raising. Two very different verbs.

    I've been seeing a few recipes for savoury waffles but haven't yet had the guts to give them a go. But I love the idea of using them for a bit of a different take on an English breakfast sandwich though, they look cute – and very tasty! It may be time I tried something a little different.

    Oh my word this looks amazing! I'm a huge waffle fan, but never really make savoury versions. It looks delicious, and I know my husband would just love these. Gorgeous pictures as always 🙂

      My love of all things breakfast definitely has a lot to do with my Canadian husband. He turns breakfasts into feasts – and the term has now stuck. There's nothing I love more than a lazy breakfast with gallons of coffee and fresh orange juice, pancakes, eggs the works…

    I love the idea of a savoury waffle sandwich… If you were using regular butter instead of Clover, would you use the same amount? Thanks Lucy!

      Yes – same amount. The batter needs to be fairly thick but still pourable. This can be used as pancake batter as well.

    I've seen savoury waffles being done before, but have never tried them. This looks like something I should try tomorrow, after I've had a proper Saturday sleep-in of course. Thanks for the inspiration!
