WAFFLE IRON GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES
More method than recipe, I heated up my panini maker one night to make a grilled cheese, only to find out that I'd left the waffle plates inside. Instead of changing out the plates, I used them anyway and I loved the outcome. The sandwich gets super crispy but the cheese is still soft and gooey inside the little squares. It's my 'go to' method for grilled cheese now. Serve with spicy pickled veggies on the side!

Tips:
- Use a waffle maker with adjustable browning settings to achieve the desired crispness of your waffles.
- To make fluffy waffles, separate the egg yolks and whites and beat the whites until stiff peaks form. Then, fold the whites into the batter.
- For crispy waffles, use a well-seasoned waffle iron and preheat it on high heat before cooking.
- If the waffle batter is too thick, it will be difficult to spread and may not cook evenly. Add milk or water to thin the batter to the desired consistency.
- Don't overcrowd the waffle iron. Leave enough space between the waffles so that they can cook evenly.
- To make sure the waffles are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of a waffle. If it comes out clean, the waffle is done.
- Serve waffles immediately with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
