Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

2 cups buttermilk (or substitute with milk mixed with 2 tablespoons vinegar)

2 large eggs

¼ cup melted unsalted butter

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

4 large eggs (for the sandwich filling)

4 slices of cooked bacon (optional for added flavor)

Fresh chives, finely chopped (for garnish)

Hot sauce (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions until it’s hot and ready for cooking.

    Prepare the Waffle Batter: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth and blended. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

      Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of butter. Pour a generous amount of the batter (about ¾ cup, depending on your waffle iron size) into the waffle iron and close the lid. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically around 4-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy. Repeat this process with the remaining batter until you have made approximately 4-6 waffles.

        Fry the Eggs: While the waffles are cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs directly into the skillet and cook to your desired doneness—sunny side up or over easy are perfect options. If you’re using bacon, place a slice on top of each egg during the last minute of cooking to warm it through.

          Assemble the Sandwiches: Take one crispy waffle and place a fried egg on top. If desired, add a slice of bacon before topping with another waffle to create a delicious sandwich. Repeat this process for any remaining waffles and fried eggs.

            Garnish and Serve: For an extra touch of flavor and color, sprinkle the assembled sandwiches with finely chopped chives. Serve hot alongside a drizzle of your favorite hot sauce, if desired, for a spicy kick.
