Mini Sausage And Waffle Bites Recipes

CHEDDAR AND SAUSAGE WAFFLES

Steps:

• Heat waffle iron; grease if necessary. In large bowl, stir all ingredients until blended.
• Pour about 1 cup batter onto center of hot waffle iron; close lid.
• Bake about 5 minutes or until steaming stops. Carefully remove waffle. Repeat with remaining batter.

MAPLE SAUSAGE AND WAFFLE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°.
• Arrange waffles in single layer on baking sheet.
• Bake until crisp, about 10-minutes per side.
• Brown sausage in non-stick skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart with spoon, 8-10 minutes.
• Drain on paper towel-lined plate.
• Butter 8-inch square baking dish.
• Add half of waffles in single layer. (It's ok to break some to fit into corners if needed).
• Add half of sausage and 1/2 cup cheese.
• Repeat layering of waffles, sausage, and 1/2 cup of cheese.
• Whisk eggs, milk, maple syrup, salt, and pepper in medium bowl until combined.
• Pour egg mixture evenly over casserole.
• Cover with plastic wrap and place weights on top. (you can put another square baking dish on top and then weight with heavy canned goods or place a couple one pound boxes of sugar on the plastic wrap and top with a cast-iron pan.).
• Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 325°.
• Let casserole stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Uncover casserole and sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese over top.
• Bake until edges and center are puffed, 45 to 50 minutes.
• Cool 5 minutes.
• Cut into pieces and serve.

SAUSAGE-AND-APPLE STUFFING BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12-cup mini muffin tins with cooking spray.
• Toss bread cubes with 2 tablespoons olive oil on a baking sheet; season with salt and pepper.
• Bake bread cubes in the preheated oven until toasted, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Melt butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery; cook and stir until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir sausage, garlic, and sage into onion mixture and cook, breaking up the meat until no trace of pink remains, about 5 minutes.
• Mix sausage mixture, eggs, apple, and chicken broth into bowl of toasted bread cubes. Season with salt and pepper. Let stand until flavors absorb, about 5 minutes.
• Scoop stuffing mixture into muffin cups and bake in the preheated oven until golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Transfer muffin tins to a rack to cool, about 5 minutes. Loosen the muffins with a sharp paring knife to lift them out.

MINI SAUSAGE AND WAFFLE BITES

Steps:

• Using the palms of your hands, take a dollop of the sausage and begin forming 8 small patties, about the size of silver dollars.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat, and fry each patty until they are cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side.
• Cut each cheese slice into fourths and place two on each patty.
• Toast your waffles, then spread jam on one side. Cut them into fourths if you're using full-size waffles. Place a sausage patty with cheese on a prepared waffle, and top with another piece of waffle. Continue until you have eight mini sandwiches.
• Use toothpicks to hold each waffle bite together for serving.
