Ingredients
- 6 frozen Belgian waffles
- 1 1/2 pounds frozen chicken nuggets, such as Just Bare™ Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Bites, slightly thawed
- 8 large eggs
- 1 1/3 cups half-and-half
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup, plus more for serving
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
Directions
- Turn the oven on to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish very lightly. Put waffles in a baking sheet arrangement.
- Bake for about 4 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned, in a preheated oven. Eliminate; divide each waffle into eight parts. then put the waffles in the baking dish that has been ready.
- Larger chicken nuggets should be cut in half, leaving smaller bits whole, and the chicken pieces should be arranged among the waffles.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, cayenne pepper, salt, and two tablespoons maple syrup until well blended and somewhat foamy. Cover and let stand for 15 minutes to allow the chicken and waffles to soak up the egg mixture before baking.
- Bake for approximately one hour, uncovering halfway through, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. Five to ten minutes should pass before serving. Drizzle with syrup and melted butter.
