Tater Tot Waffles With Saucy Sausage And Feta Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine the eggs, milk, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake until just set, 12 to 15 minutes. Invert onto a large cutting board, then cut into 12 equal squares.
• Meanwhile, combine the chicken with the garlic powder, onion powder, sage, nutmeg, cloves, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper in a large bowl; mix well. Form the mixture into twelve 1/4-inch-thick patties.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Cook the patties, in batches if necessary, flipping once, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes; transfer to a plate.
• Spread a very thin layer of mayonnaise, if using, on the bottom buns. Top with the eggs, sausage patties and cheese; close the sliders. To serve right away, warm gently in the oven to melt the cheese. To freeze for later, wrap each slider in foil and transfer to large resealable freezer bags. Freeze for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Preheat a double waffle iron to a medium-high setting.
• Toss the tater tots with the cheese and Tex-Mex seasoning in a bowl.
• Lightly spray the waffle iron with cooking spray, then arrange the tater tots and cheese mixture in a single layer on the waffle iron. Firmly press and close the waffle iron, then cook until crisp, about 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and fry to your preference, 4 to 6 minutes.
• Divide the waffles between 2 plates. Arrange the bacon halves over the top of the waffles. Top each with a fried egg, salsa, sour cream, avocado and cilantro, then serve.

Steps:

• Preheat a shallow waffle iron to its highest setting. Spray the iron on the top and bottom with cooking spray. Place the block of feta in the center of the waffle iron, then press until the feta melts and the waffle iron closes. Allow to cook until golden brown and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Mix together the tomatoes, olive oil, olives, parsley, oregano, garlic and lemon zest and pour into a food processor. Briefly pulse until the mixture looks coarse. Taste and season to your liking. Remember, feta is salty; do not over season with salt. Remove the feta waffle from the waffle iron and cut into 8 wedges. Place on a platter and serve with the tomato mixture.
