At the price of high quality maple syrup, I cannot imagine a cup to cook 2 eggs. My favorite is a premium pancake mix (organic whole grains) made with milk and an egg instead of water. I poach (Steam) my eggs soft in 1/4 teaspoon of butter in an acient reverware egg poacher, layer the eggs betweet the cakes and douse with a reasonable amount of maple syrup 1 tablespoon/egg cake..

I must admit that the use of a full cup of maple syrup took two stars off this review. Even the cheap stuff costs US$20.00 for a quart. Putting two eggs into a cup of syrup yields a price of $2.50 per egg. The reclamation of the warm syrup is dicey unless you have a decent non-metallic funnel and a filter. (I presume that you do not want egg fragments on your waffles.)
That said, the idea is beautiful, the taste is fabulous. I diluted my used poaching syrup 3:1 with water and used it in my various sweet bread recipes.

Yeah, egg fragments on my waffles is not something I would do on my own but it does no harm and it is worth the slightly unwanted look, not to throw away the deliciousness of the maple syrup. Maybe the egg and the syrup should go on top of the waffles as a deliberate presentation. For me, maple syrup is a pleasure to have no matter how it is served and having boiled my own down, worth every penny and in this case "star".

Ok, this was too intriguing to pass up. Breakfast this morning. I prefer my eggs placed on top of bread, then I have the option of mixing or separating egg & bread bites. Maple poached eggs … omg, omg. This was divine. And enough syrup left for tomorrow’s French toast!

Finally tried this. It is delicious. I put the eggs (I made 2 eggs but only needed to eat one- very rich) on the toast and spoon 1 Tb. of the syrup on top. It was very filling and next time I will make bacon too. Pancakes instead of toast might be good too. Someone suggested making a souffle with the unused syrup. I will try that next. I cooked this in a fry pan and no matter what I did or how low the temperature it wanted to boil over, so watch it as it cooks.

Looks great!
I used to make a lovely brunch dish in individual baking dishes.
The base was a jalapeño cornbread stuffing, pre-cooked, topped with 1-2 eggs, raw and unscrambled, and a little grated cheddar. Bake until eggs are cooked and stuffing is brown and crunchy at edges. Top with a drizzle of maple syrup. Swoon worthy.

But then you've got about 3/4 cup of somewhat eggy maple syrup! What do you do with that? (Other than spoon it warm out of the pan.)

use it as sweetener in homemade granola or apple crisp. Or (more fun) make souffle out of a couple of separated eggs and about 1/3 cup of syrup. Heat the oven to 400, whisk the yolks & syrup together, whip the whites, fold together w yolks, turn oven down to 375 & bake in little greased ramekins for about 10 min or so until they are puffed up.

Good with buttered toast, but I find them even better on buckwheat crepes. https://food52.com/recipes/8227-maple-poached-eggs-on-buckwheat-crepes Good thing we've had a banner year for maple syrup around here!
