Time 1h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups buttermilk
3 teaspoons black pepper, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cubed
1 ½ cups maple syrup
2 tablespoons vinegar based hot sauce
2 cups canola oil, for frying
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
3 large eggs
14 frozen waffles, cut into quarters
3 oz shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream
2 tablespoons scallions, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Place the chicken in the buttermilk mixture and toss to coat, then cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, up to overnight.
  • Make the spicy maple syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the maple syrup and hot sauce. Bring to a simmer, then cook for about 5 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool. Set aside until ready to serve, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
  • Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot until it reaches 325°F (170°C). Line 2 baking sheets with paper towels and set nearby.
  • Working in batches, fry the quartered waffles in the hot oil for about 30 seconds on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and season with salt.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining 2 teaspoons of black pepper, chili powder, paprika, and garlic powder. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs well.
  • Set a wire rack inside a baking sheet.
  • Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and, working in batches, coat the chicken in the flour mixture, then in the eggs, then in the flour again. Place on the wire rack.
  • Working in batches, fry the chicken in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown on the outside. Season with additional salt if desired. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
  • Turn the oven to broil.
  • Arrange the fried waffles on a baking sheet, overlapping slightly. Top with the chicken and cheddar cheese.
  • Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling. Watch carefully so it does not burn.
  • Drizzle the nachos with ½ cup (120 ML) of the spicy maple syrup, dollop on the sour cream, and scatter the scallions over the top. Serve with the remaining spicy maple syrup alongside
  • Enjoy!

BREAKFAST NACHOS



Breakfast Nachos image

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 homemade or thawed frozen waffles, cut into triangles (like tortilla chips)
1 pound breakfast sausage, casings removed and meat crumbled
1 tablespoon olive oil
6 large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
1 avocado, thinly sliced
1/2 cup quartered cherry tomatoes
3 scallions, white and light green parts only, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Hot sauce, for serving, optional
Sour cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Put the waffle triangles on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 5 to 7 minutes to dry out a bit. Remove from the oven and turn on the broiler.
  • Cook the sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up any big chunks with the back of a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes.
  • Heat another large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Swirl in the olive oil. Crack the eggs into individual bowls. Add the eggs side by side in the pan. Cook until the outer edges turn opaque, about 1 minute, then cover, lower the heat and cook for 4 minutes. If you want a medium yolk, cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Top the waffles with the sausage, drizzle with the maple syrup and cover with the cheese. Cook under the broiler until the cheese has melted completely, about 2 minutes.
  • Top the nachos with the cooked eggs, avocado slices, tomatoes, scallions, jalapeno and cilantro. Serve with hot sauce if desired and garnish with sour cream.

Why have plain old nachos when you can make them with waffle cut fries and buffalo chicken instead?! Inspired by a post at howsweeteats.com.

Categories     Weeknight

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (20 ounce) package frozen waffle-cut sweet potato fries (I used Alexia Waffle Cut Sweet Potato Seasoned Fries)
1/2 rotisserie-cooked chicken, shredded
1 cup buffalo wing sauce
2 tablespoons butter
5 ounces grated extra-sharp cheddar cheese
3 ounces grated monterey jack pepper cheese or 3 ounces blue cheese, if you prefer
1 bunch scallion, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven per waffle fry package directions.
  • Arrange waffle fries in single layer on a foil-covered baking sheet and cook according to package directions.
  • While fries cook, shred chicken with fingers or a fork; set aside.
  • Heat buffalo wing sauce with butter until the butter melts. Add the chicken and stir to coat. Let sit.
  • Chop scallions and grate the cheeses; set aside.
  • Once the fries are done, pile on the chicken and cheeses.
  • Turn the oven to broil and place the baking pan into the broiler. (My broiler was too small for my baking sheet, so I transferred the fries to a small pizza pan before broiling.).
  • Let cook for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  • Remove, sprinkle with scallions and eat once cool enough to touch!
  • *Servings vary: This could feed anywhere from 4-7 people as a party app, or two very hungry people for a dinner where calories don't matter!

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 24

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup sliced fresh scallions
1 medium jalapeno, diced
2 cups frozen popcorn chicken
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup sliced fresh scallions
4 slices crispy bacon, chopped
1 small jalapeno, sliced
4 fried eggs

Steps:

  • To make the waffles, whisk together the butter, eggs, milk and vanilla until well combined. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add in the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the cheese, scallions, and jalapeño. Pour 1/3 cup batter into each cavity of a preheated waffle iron. Cook until golden brown and crispy, according to your iron's directions. Transfer the cooked waffles to a wire rack set over a baking sheet, to prevent from getting soggy while you continue cooking the rest.
  • Cook the popcorn chicken on a baking sheet in a preheated 350 degree F oven until crispy, about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Place a saucepan over medium-high heat along with the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 30 seconds. Slowly whisk in the milk and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened, about 5 to 8 minutes. Season with mustard, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Remove from heat, and stir in the cheese until melted through.
  • To assemble the nachos, cut the waffles into pieces and arrange onto one large platter or about two plates. Pour the cheese sauce over the waffle pieces and top with popcorn chicken, scallions, bacon, jalapeño and fried eggs. Serve immediately and enjoy!
