Serves: 8 servings

A delightful twist on a classic breakfast dish, featuring crispy sausage, fluffy eggs, and savory potatoes layered on top of crispy waffles.
Ingredients
| 1 | Jimmy Dean Breakfast Sausage, Hot |
|---|---|
| 12 | Eggs, separated |
| 10 | Eggo waffles (1 standard box) |
| 1 1⁄2 | teaspoons Salt, divided |
| 1 | Large Idaho potato |
| 1 | bunch Green onions, chopped |
| 2 | cups Shredded cheddar cheese |
Instructions
| 1. | Peel and thinly slice the potato. Sprinkle the slices with salt. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Cut the sausage into patties, flatten them and spread until they are approximately the same size as the waffles. Keep in mind that they will shrink during cooking. |
| 3. | Preheat the oven to 350°F. |
| 4. | Cook the sausage according to the package instructions, browning them on both sides over medium-high heat. Once cooked, remove from the heat, allowing them to drain and cool slightly. Keep the oil in the pan to cook the potatoes. |
| 5. | Add the potatoes to the pan with the leftover sausage oil. Cook on medium-low heat until tender, then increase the heat to brown them. Once fully cooked, remove from heat and set aside. |
| 6. | Arrange the Eggo waffles on two baking sheets and bake for 10 minutes to warm and lightly toast them. |
| 7. | Place egg whites and salt in a stand mixer (or use a hand mixer) and whip until firm peaks form (not quite stiff peaks). In a separate bowl, whip the egg yolks until they reach the ribbon stage. Gently fold the yolks and chopped green onions into the whipped egg whites. |
| 8. | Assembly: Begin with a waffle, sprinkle with cheddar cheese, add a layer of potatoes and a sausage patty on top. Finish by spreading the whipped egg mixture over the top. |
| 9. | Bake at 350°F for 10-15 minutes or until slightly browned. |
