These @eggo_us Waffle grilled cheese sandwiches are a whole bunch of nostalgia and comfort crammed into each bite! 🤯
I grew up eating Eggo Waffles, so that buttery, delicious flavor always gets me in my feelz. My parents also used to make me grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch a lot, which got me thinking… what if I combine the two!?
So I went into the lab (kitchen) and tested a few things out, and finally arrived at using a 3-cheese combo. Sharp cheddar for the stronger flavor, mozzarella for the stringy cheese pulls, and American cheese to add some gooey goodness to complement the crispy waffles.
If mozzarella cheese pulls are your thing and you have a mini waffle maker sitting around, cheese stuffed mini waffles wrap string cheese inside sweet Belgian waffle batter so the outside goes crispy and the inside turns completely molten. If you love mozzarella for those cheese pulls but want to take grilled cheese somewhere completely unexpected, the Chocolate Butter Grilled Cheese uses mozzarella on brioche with a homemade cocoa-sugar butter that caramelizes into a toffee-colored crust.
Kids will love it, for sure, but so will the inner kid in you!
Would you try them?? Let me know in the comments what you think if you do! 🙌
INGREDIENTS
4 Eggo Waffles
2 tbsp unsalted butter (room temp)
4 slices American cheese
2 slices mozzarella (sliced)
2 slices sharp cheddar (sliced)
INSTRUCTIONS
1️⃣ Divide the butter into 4 equal parts and butter one side of each of the Eggo Waffles.
2️⃣ On the non-buttered side of one waffle, add the cheese slices in this order: American, mozzarella, cheddar, American. Place another waffle on top with the butter side out. Repeat for the other waffles.
3️⃣ In a pan over medium heat, place both sandwiches in and cook until the bottom waffle gets crispy (usually 3-4 minutes). Then, flip them. If you have a stainless steel melting dome, use it to make sure the cheese all melts. If you don’t, just check the bottom of the waffle occasionally to make sure it doesn’t burn and cook until the cheese melts.
4️⃣ Plate and enjoy!

Instructions
- Butter the waffles. Divide the butter into 4 parts and butter one side of each Eggo waffle.
- Stack the cheese. On the non-buttered side of one waffle, layer the cheese in this order: American, mozzarella, cheddar, American. Top with another waffle, buttered side out. Repeat for the second sandwich.
- Grill. In a pan over medium heat, cook both sandwiches until the bottom waffle is crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes, then flip. A melting dome helps the cheese melt; if you do not have one, check the bottom so it does not burn and cook until the cheese melts.
- Serve. Plate and enjoy.
Notes
- Room-temperature butter spreads evenly and browns the waffles without tearing them.
- A lid or melting dome traps steam so the inside melts before the outside burns.
