WAFFLED HAM AND CHEESE MELT WITH MAPLE BUTTER

Buttering the bread before you waffle it ensures a crispy, golden brown exterior. Adding the maple butter right as the sandwich comes out of the waffle iron means the sweet, rich mixture soaks into the still-warm bread

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 slices sandwich bread
2 ounces Gruyère cheese, sliced
3 ounces Black Forest ham, sliced
1 tablespoon Maple Butter
Special Equipment
Belgian or standard waffle maker

Steps:

  • Preheat the waffle iron on low.
  • Spread a thin, even layer of butter on one side of each piece of bread.
  • Pile the cheese and ham on the unbuttered side of one slice of bread, and put the open-face sandwich in the waffle iron as far away from the hinge as possible. (This allows the lid to press down on the sandwich more evenly.) Place the second slice of bread on top, with the buttered side up, and close the waffle iron.
  • Check the sandwich after 3 minutes. About halfway through, you may need to rotate the sandwich 180 degrees to ensure even pressure and cooking. If you'd like, you can press down on the lid of the waffle iron a bit to compact the sandwich, but do so carefully-the lid could be very hot. Remove the sandwich from the waffle iron when the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  • Spread the Maple Butter on the outside of the sandwich. Slice in half diagonally and serve.

WAFFLE-GRILLED HAM AND CHEESE



Waffle-Grilled Ham and Cheese image

Make a few extra waffles on the weekends, and turn the leftovers into this kid-favorite sandwich. (Okay, so maybe it's an adult-favorite, too!)

Provided by Jennifer Perillo

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cooked waffles
2 slices Swiss cheese, halved
Dijon mustard, optional
2 slices ham
Butter or nonstick spray, for greasing

Steps:

  • Lay 2 of the waffles on a counter or cutting board. Place a half-slice of cheese on top of each waffle. Spread some mustard over the cheese if using. Fold each ham slice in half, and place on top of the cheese slices. Layer another half-slice of cheese over each piece of ham. Top with the remaining waffles to form a sandwich.
  • Heat a nonstick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat.
  • Grease the skillet with some butter. Place the sandwiches in the pan, and cook until golden on the underside and the cheese starts to melt, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the sandwiches, and cook until golden on other side and the cheese fully melts, about 2 more minutes. Serve hot or wrap in foil to pack for a school lunch or picnic.
  • Make it Your Own: For an Italian spin on this sandwich, swap in prosciutto for the ham and mozzarella for the Swiss.
