Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 slices sliced cheese (e.g., cheddar or Swiss)
- 4 slices cooked deli meat (e.g., ham, turkey, or bacon)
- 2 tablespoons butter (for grilling)
- as desired optional toppings (e.g., lettuce, tomato, or maple syrup)
Instructions
Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and combine them with the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are fine.
Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Scoop an appropriate amount of batter into the waffle iron and cook until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Repeat to make 8 waffles total.
Once all the waffles are cooked, layer one waffle with a slice of cheese and a slice of deli meat, then top with another waffle to create a sandwich.
Optional: Add additional toppings like lettuce, tomato, or condiments at this stage.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Place the wafflewich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the cheese is melted and the waffles are lightly crisped. Repeat with the remaining wafflewiches.
Serve warm, either as is or with a drizzle of maple syrup for a sweet-and-savory twist.
