Bourbon-Maple Brisket Grilled Cheese Wafflewich

Imagine this: Tender, juicy brisket slow-cooked in rich bourbon and sweet maple syrup, nestled between layers of melted cheddar cheese, all hugged by buttery grilled bread—then sandwiched between two golden waffles. Yes, it’s as incredible as it sounds. The Bourbon-Maple Brisket Grilled Cheese Wafflewich is not just a mouthful to say—it’s a mouthful to savor. This indulgent twist on classic comfort food takes grilled cheese to a whole new level.

🥩 Why Brisket?

Brisket is a cut of beef that, when cooked low and slow, becomes irresistibly tender and flavorful. It’s perfect for absorbing the deep caramel notes of bourbon and the subtle sweetness of maple syrup. When shredded and layered into a sandwich, it adds a rich, meaty backbone that makes this dish hearty enough for any appetite.

🧀 The Perfect Cheese Pull

Cheddar cheese brings sharpness and creaminess to this sandwich. Its ability to melt smoothly and create that iconic cheese pull makes it the ideal choice to complement the savory brisket. You can also experiment with a mix—try adding mozzarella for melt or gouda for smoky depth.

🧇 Waffle Meets Grilled Cheese

Instead of serving the grilled cheese on its own, the recipe adds a genius twist: place the whole sandwich between two crispy waffles. This not only adds texture and flair but also transforms the dish into a brunch-worthy showstopper. The slight sweetness of waffles echoes the maple in the brisket, tying all the flavors together.
