PINE MOUNTAIN, GA

This is an open faced sandwich I created for a sandwich challenge. There were 2 ingredients we had to incorporate into the recipe and they were parsnips and grapes. Then we could use up to 8 additional ingredients. This quick and easy dish is a fruity chicken salad (purchased from the deli) served on top of a sweet, light and crispy cornbread waffle. Sure to please at your next brunch or luncheon. Hope you enjoy!

  • 1
    (8.5-oz) pkg jiffy corn muffin mix or corn muffin mix you prefer
  • 1 lg
    egg, plus 1 egg white
  • 2 Tbsp
    vegetable oil
  • 1/4 c
    plus 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/4 c

How To Make open faced birdie & parsnips grape salad

  • 1
    If you can't find a chicken salad with grapes already in it, you can simply add grapes.
  • 2
    Heat waffle iron.
  • 3
    Put cornbread mix in medium size mixing bowl.
  • 4
    Whisk the egg white until it forms a nice meduim stiff peak; set aside.
  • 5
    Add remaining ingredients to cornbread mix (except for the egg white) and blend. Batter will be lumpy. Fold in egg white.
  • 6
    Spray waffle iron with PAM. Add about 2 ice cream scoops of batter per waffle. (NOT a heaping spoonful). This will make smaller odd shaped (kinda round) waffles. If you like a solid round or square waffle by all means add enough batter to the waffle iron to make them.
  • 7
    Cook in iron until they stop steaming, remove and top with chicken salad. Garnish plate with fruits of your liking. Enjoy!

    NOTE: I used a Krups Belgium Waffle Iron. You could certainly use a regular waffle iron, the waffle would only be thinner and you could probably make double what I made with the Belgian Waffle Iron.
