Follow The Directions

01

Step

Shape the sausage into approximately 8 small, silver dollar-sized patties using your palms. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the sausage patties until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side, ensuring a golden-brown crust. (8 minutes)

03

Step

Cut each cheese slice into fourths. Place two cheese quarters on top of each cooked sausage patty while still in the pan, allowing the cheese to melt slightly. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Toast the waffles until golden brown. Spread a generous layer of jam on one side of each waffle. If using full-size waffles, cut them into fourths. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Assemble the mini sandwiches by placing a cheesy sausage patty between two pieces of jam-covered waffle. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Secure each waffle bite with a toothpick for easy serving and to keep them neatly together. (2 minutes)

For a vegetarian option, substitute the pork sausage with plant-based sausage patties.
Experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar, Gruyere, or pepper jack, for varying flavor profiles.
Consider adding a drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
These mini bites can be prepared ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave.
Try different jams and preserves such as raspberry, blueberry, or apricot.
