Grilled Ham And Cheese Waffle Sandwiches Recipes

WAFFLE-GRILLED HAM AND CHEESE

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.

CRUSTY GRILLED HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Mix together Parmesan cheese, soft butter, and garlic powder.
• Build the sandwich as follows--on 4 slices of bread put 1 slice of cheese on each.
• Then put 2 slices of ham on each.
• Spread each ham slice with desired amount of mustard.
• Top with tomato slices and fresh basil, if desired, or just sprinkle a tad of dry basil on it.
• Cover with remaining slices of cheese and second slice of bread.
• Very carefully spread the butter, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder mixture on both sides of the sandwich.
• Place on a griddle and cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cheese is melted.
• Cut in half and serve.

CHRISTY'S AWESOME HOT HAM AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat.
• Spread one side of each slice of bread with 1 teaspoon butter. Place one slice, butter-side down in the hot skillet. Top with Swiss cheese and ham. Spread the unbuttered side of the second slice of bread with mayonnaise and mustard; place it, butter-side up on top of the sandwich. Cook until the sandwich is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 3 minutes per side.

WAFFLED HAM AND CHEESE MELT WITH MAPLE BUTTER

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.
