Description
Looking for a delicious and delightful dish that combines the crispiness of waffles with the savory richness of beef?
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Belgian-style waffles (homemade or frozen, toasted)
- 1/2 lb slow-cooked beef brisket, shredded
- 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Optional: spicy brown mustard or garlic aioli for serving
Instructions
- Begin your Waffle Sandwich journey by melting the unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. This step serves as the base for your brisket mixture, bringing rich flavor to your sandwich and ensuring that the brisket heats up perfectly.
- Once the butter has melted and is bubbling slightly, add in the shredded brisket. Gently stir to coat the brisket in the melted butter, allowing its flavors to mingle and heat through. As it cooks, sprinkle in the maple syrup, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Stir occasionally for about 3–4 minutes or until the brisket is warmed through and takes on a slightly caramelized look.
- While the brisket is cooking, toast your Belgian-style waffles until they are golden brown and crisp. This adds a delightful texture to your sandwich and ensures that they hold up against the savory and cheesy filling. If you’d like extra crunch, consider using an oven or an air fryer for toasting instead of a regular toaster.
- To assemble your sandwich, place one crispy waffle on a plate. Layer the hot brisket mixture directly on top of the waffle, ensuring to distribute it evenly for maximum flavor in every bite. Generously sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the brisket while it’s still hot, allowing the heat to melt the cheese. If desired, spread a layer of spicy brown mustard or garlic aioli on the underside of the second waffle to give your sandwich an extra kick.
- Gently place the second waffle on top, pressing down slightly to create a cohesive sandwich. To enjoy the Waffle Sandwich at its best, slice it in half and serve immediately while it’s warm and gooey. Each bite is a revelation of melted cheese, sweet and savory brisket, and the delightful crunch of golden waffles.
