Breakfast
Mini Waffle and Sausage Breakfast
Ingredients
6 mini waffles - readily available at most grocers either frozen or fresh. You can also make waffles from you own waffle iron if you prefer
6 Jimmy Dean Original Pork Sausage Patties
12 slices provolone cheese
6 tablespoons crumbled pecan pieces
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter
maple syrup
green apple slices
strawberries
Directions
1. To prepare candied pecans, melt butter in nonstick skillet and immediately add the sugar. Stir over medium-low heat until well blended and add pecans. Continue cooking about 3-4 minutes or until pecans begin to brown. Transfer to a bowl.
2. Cook sausage in air fryer according to directions or by your preferred method. Careful not to overcook.
3. Heat waffles according to directions. Place waffles onto plates and top each with a slice of sausage.
4. In the same skillet, working in batches, if necessary, place two slices of cheese - one atop the other directly to pan and cook for 30-40 seconds just until cheese begins to melt.
5. Using a spatula transfer melted cheese to waffles. Drizzle with maple syrup or hot honey and serve with green apple slices and strawberries.
Tip: If you've never pre-melted cheese this way, it can be a game changer for other dishes such as grilled cheese where the bread can sometimes get cooked before the cheese is sufficiently melted.
