❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Can I substitute the Ham for a different meat?
Answer: Yes. Waffle House offers the Breakfast Hashbrown Bowl with your choice of meat: Ham, Bacon (crumbled), or Sausage (crumbled). You can also add other meats for an extra charge.
2. Can I get a different egg style instead of scrambled?
Answer: Yes. Although the standard bowl is built with scrambled eggs for easy layering, you can typically request the eggs to be cooked any style (e.g., sunny side up, over easy) and placed on top of the hashbrowns.10
3. Can I order the hashbrowns “All the Way” in the bowl?
Answer: Yes, you can customize the hashbrown base of your bowl with any of the classic Waffle House toppings (Smothered with onions, Covered with extra cheese, Peppered with jalapeños, etc.) for an additional charge per topping.
4. Is the Ham, Egg & Cheese Hashbrown Bowl gluten-free?
Answer: No. This bowl is generally not considered gluten-free for two main reasons: 1) The hashbrowns themselves may contain a stabilizer that includes wheat flour, and 2) All components are cooked on a shared grill surface with wheat-containing items like Texas Toast, waffles, and gravy, creating a high risk of cross-contamination.11
5. What is the main nutritional concern with the Ham Hashbrown Bowl?
Answer: The primary nutritional concern with the Ham, Egg & Cheese Hashbrown Bowl is the very high sodium content ($\sim 2110$ mg). This comes mainly from the highly cured hickory-smoked ham and the added sodium in the American cheese and hashbrowns.
