Ingredients
  

For the Waffle Sliders:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon baking powder

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup buttermilk

2 large eggs

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cooking spray (for the waffle iron)

For the Filling:

6 large eggs

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled or diced ham

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Fresh salsa, for serving

Slices of avocado or guacamole, optional for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Start by preheating your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s directions, ensuring it’s ready for non-stick cooking.

    Prepare the Waffle Batter: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt until well combined. In a separate bowl, blend the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until smooth. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. It's okay if the batter has a few lumps; avoid overmixing for fluffier waffles.

      Cook the Waffles: Lightly coat the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter onto the center of the waffle iron (or enough to cover the surface). Close the lid and cook for about 4-6 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy. Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm on a plate. Repeat this process until all the batter has been cooked.

        Make the Egg Filling: In a large skillet, heat over medium heat, add the eggs and scramble until just set. Season with salt and pepper, then fold in the shredded cheese and your choice of cooked sausage or ham. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the filling is evenly mixed. Remove from heat.

          Assemble the Sliders: Take one waffle and load it up with a generous spoonful of the scrambled egg filling. Top with another waffle to create a delightful sandwich. Repeat this process for the remaining waffles and filling.

            Serve: Present the mini breakfast taco waffle sliders warm, alongside a bowl of fresh salsa. For an added touch, garnish with slices of avocado or a dollop of guacamole.
