Make it with Lightly Breaded Chicken Nuggets

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x9-inch casserole dish. Allow Waffles and nuggets to temper (or thaw) for 10 minutes before cutting.
  2. Cut waffles into quarters and chicken nuggets in half then arrange in layers.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, brown sugar, 1/4 cup maple syrup and salt until fully combined.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the waffle and nugget mixtures, making sure all pieces are coated by carefully mixing with a spatula.
  5. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30–40 minutes, until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
  6. Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, drizzle with 1/2 Cup maple syrup, slice and serve warm.
