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!

PARSNIP PECAN CORNBREAD WAFFLES
1 - (8.5-oz) pkg jiffy corn muffin mix or corn muffin mix you prefer
1 large egg, plus 1 egg white
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp milk
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp club soda
1/4 cup toasted pecans, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup parsnip, grated

How To Make open faced birdie & parsnips grape salad

Step 1

If you can't find a chicken salad with grapes already in it, you can simply add grapes.

Step 2

Heat waffle iron.
Step 3

Put cornbread mix in medium size mixing bowl.
Step 4

Whisk the egg white until it forms a nice meduim stiff peak; set aside.
Step 5

Add remaining ingredients to cornbread mix (except for the egg white) and blend. Batter will be lumpy. Fold in egg white.
Step 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.
Step 7

Cook in iron until they stop steaming, remove and top with chicken salad. Garnish plate with fruits of your liking. Enjoy!
Step 8

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.
