Stop the Presses: Waffle Iron Sandwiches
Who needs a panini press when you have a waffle iron? I heard about using the waffle iron somewhere or another quite some time ago and decided to give it a spin for grilled ham and cheese sandwiches. It worked like a charm. Mr. G enjoyed that it gave the sandwich more "grilled surface." So, you just butter or spray your waffle iron, put the first slice of bread in, fillings, then second slice of bread and close the lid. I used ham and swiss, but the possibilities are almost endless. Here are some ideas: Italian or french bread, fresh mozzarella, basil, tomato, maybe some prosciutto tuna salad, cheese, and chutney fancy grilled cheese use Gouda, Manchego, Jarlsberg, spreadable cheese like Boursin...etc. add-ons: roasted vegetables like red peppers, asparagus, red onion, and butternut squash, walnuts, apple or pear slices, carmelized onions, dried fruit, hot pepper or other jams for a dessert, spread your bread with Nutella Don't overfill or you'll end up
