Perfect Copycat Waffle House Cheese Eggs Recipe (2024)

Perfect Copycat Waffle House Cheese Eggs Recipe – cheese and eggs are cooked in melted butter and the end results is cheesy eggs that are so delicious!

Sadly, we don’t have Waffle House restaurants in our area. They seem to be mostly in the south central to southeastern United States but they are literally all around me. I just don’t get it because there is one about 130 miles to the south of us and there is one about 180 miles northeast of us, plus some east and west of us. It looks like they forgot us and I am wondering just who I need to talk to about this! I mean, they are to the north, south, east and west of us but somehow they forgot to put at least one here in Wichita. Baffling!

This is One of Those Viral TikTok Recipes

Have you seen the TikTok of the Waffle House worker showing everyone exactly how to make authentic Waffle House cheese eggs? You can check it out over atDelishably. The waffle house grill operator cooks 2 eggs in what looks to be a stainless steel pan and then lets 2 slices of real Americancheesemelt in asmall cast iron skillet. Then they add thecooked scrambled eggsonto the melty cheese. Yummy!

When I decided to make these eggs at home I wanted to make an easier version than theoriginal recipe. You see, I only want to dirty one pan and I want it to be the same whether I am making eggs for one or many. So I have come up with my own method to makeWaffle House eggs. There really isn’t aright wayto cook something. As long as you are happy with the end result then that is what matters.

2. Beat eggs in asmall bowland add to the pan on top of themelted cheese, continue cooking stirring constantly to keep the texture of the eggs smooth and creamy and to prevent overcooking.

We like our eggs to be soft scrambled, you can cook the eggs to the doneness you like. Also keep in mind that there is yummymelted cheesein there so they will be sort of wet looking.

What kind of cheese does Waffle House use in their eggs?

It is important to use a good sliced cheese that will melt properly. Sliced American cheese is the best option.

I make this dish for one person by using 1tbsp butter, 2 slices of cheese and 2 eggs in a small skillet. We also make this for 2 – 6 people by increasing the amount of everything we use. Just remember that for every egg you need 1 slice of cheese and 1/2 tablespoon of butter and this can be made in any size frying pan.
