Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cook these sausage waffle sandwiches without separating them?
Yes, but separating them before air frying helps ensure even cooking and makes the waffles crispier. If you prefer to cook them whole, you may need to add an extra minute or two to the cooking time.
What if my air fryer runs hotter or cooler than expected?
Air fryer models can vary, so check the sandwiches at the 4-minute mark. If they need more time, cook in 1-minute increments until they reach your desired crispiness.
Can I add cheese or other toppings before cooking?
It’s best to cook the waffles and sausage separately first, then add cheese or other toppings when reassembling. This prevents the cheese from melting too much or burning.
How do I prevent the sandwiches from drying out?
Make sure not to overcook them. Five minutes at 380°F is usually perfect, but if your air fryer runs hot, you might want to reduce the time slightly.
Are these sandwiches good for meal prep?
Yes! You can cook a batch ahead of time, store them in the fridge, and reheat them in the air fryer for a quick breakfast on busy mornings.
