The Perfect Fall Breakfast...or Brinner: Biscuit Waffle Breakfast Stack #breakfast #brunch #brinner #eggs #overthetop

Breakfast...there's nothing better than a leisurely meal of eggs, waffles, and more. Weekdays, my breakfast is typically a protein shake iced coffee. But on the weekends? I serve a filling leisurely brunch with all my favorites! I especially love waffles, and I'm intrigued by making creative waffles using unexpected ingredients. For example: I used refrigerated biscuits and my waffle iron to create my tasty Biscuit Waffle Breakfast Stack! 

This fun brunch -- or weeknight brinner -- item features all of my favorite breakfast items stacked on top of a biscuit waffle. The biscuit waffle base is topped with reduced fat cheese, scrambled eggs, and a lower-fat sausage gravy. It's savory and quite filling...add a simple fresh fruit salad on the side for a complete meal!

Biscuit Waffle Breakfast Stack

a Weekend Gourmet Original

Ingredients (makes 4 servings):

• Four grand-size refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
• Four slices reduced fat Colby Jack cheese
• 6 large eggs
• 1 tsp. butter
• 1 tsp. chopped parsley

For the sausage gravy:

• 8 ounces turkey breakfast sausage
• 2 tbs. flour
• 1 cup 2% milk
• 1 tsp. Cajun seasoning
• Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

Step 1: Brown the breakfast sausage in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking into bite-size pieces. Add the flour to the skillet, then pour in the milk. Whisk the ingredients to form the sausage gravy. Reduce heat to med-low and cook, stirring every few minutes, until the gravy has thickened. 

Step 2: Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Scramble the eggs until they are soft set -- add salt & pepper to taste. Set the eggs aside until you're ready to assemble your biscuit stacks.

Step 3: Preheat a waffle iron, and spray with non-stick spray. Place one biscuit in each well of the waffle iron and close. Cook until the biscuits are cooked inside and brown outside -- approx. 3-5 minutes. To assemble, place a biscuit waffle on a plate. Top with one slice of the cheese, one-fourth of the scrambled eggs, and a one-fourth of the sausage gravy. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

This Biscuit Waffle Breakfast Stack reminds me a bit of a Southern-style eggs Benedict. The biscuit waffle base, melted cheese, creamy scrambled eggs, and spicy sausage cream gravy all work perfectly together...so good!! I hope you'll give my breakfast stacks a try this Fall -- they're definitely family friendly. I hope they also inspire you to try making waffles from non-traditional items in your own kitchen!
