I'm going to be honest, the recipe calls for separating the eggs and beating them to stiff peaks and I did not. I know that this may result in a slightly more dense waffle, but since it's for a sandwich I'm totally okay with that.
I used a cookie scoop to make sure they were all the same size. I split the batch evenly and did half of them as slider size and half as full size waffles. I think those would be great topped with chili, so I'm going to freeze some of them for when the weather is cooler.
This would make a great brunch item because you can lay everything out and people can assemble their own based on their likes and dislikes. My guys don't do veggies, so they'd just pile theirs with bacon and top with some maple syrup.
