That especially will be the case this upcoming Sunday, which is both Mother’s Day and my birthday. My family is coming into town to celebrate all the things (because, as you may recall, Avery’s birthday is Monday, the day after Mother’s Day) and while I’m super jazzed to have everyone around to party, the last thing I want to do is decide for everyone else what they’ll want to eat for brunch (besides birthday cake, obviously).
Cue these sweet and savory gluten free waffle breakfast sandwiches.
However you do it, just don’t let Mom come in the kitchen to assist you. She’s made enough sandwiches in her day, and you’ve got a baking mix to help you out. So give her a cup of coffee, send her to the couch and tell her to relax until her brunch is ready. Then give her a big hug and hand her a waffle breakfast sandwich, courtesy of you. In that moment, she’ll be proud she raised you right.

These look amazing and I will be making them shortly. However, one little caution for those who think they are making something for brunch that all of your friends can eat. If your kitchen is not gluten-free, and kept that way, you still run the risk of contaminating the food. The waffle iron is the biggest risk. If you have ever made waffles with gluten-containing flour in that machine, it is contaminated. Waffle irons are impossible to get clean enough. Gluten can hide in the tiniest of nooks. If you use plastic or wood utensils, or other kitchen implements that are not metal, those can also be contaminated. If you mix in a plastic bowl, that can be contaminated. If the gluten-avoiding person is NOT celiac, you might be okay. HOWEVER, please tell any celiacs in your group what machines, utensils, and surfaces you used and let them make the decision whether to eat your food or not. And please do not be hurt if they choose not to eat it. I know that I would be putting my life at risk by eating it, as I suffered such extreme damage to my vital organs before diagnosis. If I put my hands in dishwater with dishes that have held pizza crust or pasta, I am sick for several days. Thank you for a lovely recipe and I will be using it.
This sounds like such a delicious and easy breakfast, and such a dun way for your little boy to start the day!
