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 greasing the waffle iron)

For the Filling:

6 large eggs

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup fully cooked breakfast sausage (crumbled) or diced ham

1/4 cup chopped green onions

Salt and 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 guidelines until it reaches the desired temperature.

    Prepare the Waffle Batter: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt using a whisk. In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter until well combined. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just mixed; be careful not to overmix—it's fine if a few lumps remain.

      Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the preheated waffle iron with cooking spray. Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the batter onto the center of the iron, or enough to cover the surface without overflowing. Close the lid and cook the waffles for about 4 to 6 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Carefully remove the waffles and keep them warm while you repeat the process for the remaining batter.

        Make the Egg Filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the 6 large eggs and scramble them until just set. Stir in salt, pepper, shredded cheese, and your choice of cooked sausage or ham. Cook until the cheese melts and the mixture is combined thoroughly. Remove the skillet from heat once the eggs are cooked to your liking.

          Assemble the Sliders: To create each mini breakfast taco slider, place one waffle flat on your serving plate. Spoon a generous portion of the egg filling onto the waffle. Top with a second waffle to form a sandwich. Repeat this process until all ingredients are used.

            Serve: Serve the mini breakfast taco waffle sliders warm. Enhance the dish by offering fresh salsa on the side, along with optional avocado slices or dollops of guacamole for added flavor.
