Ingredients
- Nonstick spray
- 6 oz Chicken sausage links
- 1.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- 4 tbsp Brown sugar
- pinch Salt
- 1/2 cup Milk or more if needed
- 1 cup Fresh cherries pitted
- 4 tbsp Mascarpone cheese
- 1 tsp Orange zest or more if needed
- 4 tbsp Maple syrup
- Fresh mint garnish
Instructions
- Preheat a waffle maker and lightly coat with nonstick spray.
- For the chicken sausage: If raw, cook in a 400°F oven to an internal temperature of 160°F using a thermometer. If already cooked: Place in a 400 degree oven until warmed through or slice and brown in a nonstick pan on medium heat.
- For the waffles: Whisk together flour, baking powder, brown sugar and salt in a bowl. Stir in the milk a little at a time until a smooth batter forms (not too thin or watery, and not too thick or clumpy). Fold in the 3/4 of the cherries.
- Using about 1/2 cup per portion, ladle the batter in the waffle maker and cook according to the directions.
- In the meantime, whisk the mascarpone and orange zest in a bowl until smooth.
- Top the waffles with mascarpone and syrup. Serve with chicken sausage. Garnish with mint and remaining cherries.
