INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 1 1/2 pounds frozen chicken nuggets
    • 🥚 8 large eggs
    • 1 1/3 cups half-and-half
    • 🧂 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 🧈 4 tablespoons butter, melted

  • Optional Toppings

    • Maple syrup for drizzling

STEPS

1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2

Arrange the frozen waffles on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 4 minutes per side until lightly crisp.

3

Cut each waffle into 8 pieces and layer them in the prepared baking dish.

4

Cut larger chicken nuggets in half, leaving smaller pieces whole, and place them between the waffle pieces.

5

Whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, kosher salt, cayenne pepper, and 2 tablespoons of melted butter in a bowl until frothy.

6

Pour the whisked mixture evenly over the waffles and chicken. Cover and let it sit for 15 minutes so it absorbs.

7

Bake the dish uncovered for the first 30 minutes, then cover and bake for an additional 30 minutes.

8

Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes. Drizzle with melted butter and maple syrup before serving.
