The Kitchn: Homemade butter transforms store-bought ingredients into a special breakfast
I'm a huge supporter of using store-bought ingredients and making them special. As if using two waffles as your breakfast sandwich bread wasn't awesome enough, an impressive spicy maple butter will knock this meal out of the park.
Whipping up a special butter right after you've crawled out of bed may seem to you like climbing Mount Everest with one leg, but you can make it ahead, and I promise you it is so worth it.
If you are feeling extra fancy, you can experiment with a variety of frozen waffles. Blueberry waffle egg sandwich with spicy maple butter, anyone? You may just be on to something!
