Waffle and Egg Cups

I found this recipe in the Better Homes and Garden magazine some time ago and I have been wanting to try it. I am very happy I did as they are very tasty and easy to make. You can make ahead and store in the fridge for 5 days or freeze. I had no problem finding the mini waffles in the frozen food section.

Waffle and Egg Cups

Ingredients


12 frozen mini waffles
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 9-10 ounce pkg. frozen cooked breakfast sausage links, thawed and chopped or ground sausage not in casings.
6 eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
Maple Syrup

Directions


Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease twelve 2 1/2-inch muffin cups.


Cook the sausage.


Place mini waffles in prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the cheddar cheese. Top with sausage and remaining 1 cup cheddar cheese.


In a medium bowl combine next five ingredients (through salt). Spoon over filling in muffin cups.


Bake 15 to 18 minutes or until set and golden. Cool in muffin cups on a wire rack 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from muffin cups. Drizzle with maple syrup before serving.



TO MAKE AHEAD



Prepare as directed, except remove egg cups and cool completely. Place in a single layer in an airtight container. Store in refrigerator up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months. To serve, microwave one egg cup at a time until heated through, allowing 15 to 20 seconds if chilled or 30 seconds if frozen.
