Instructions
Mickey Waffle Cristos
In a medium bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the water and egg. Add the waffle mix and whisk until smooth. Stir in the melted butter.
Prepare the waffles according to your waffle maker’s instructions.
Preheat the oven to 250 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Use a serrated knife to slice the Mickey waffles ¾ of the way in half. Leave the ears connected to each other to help the waffles stay together once filled.
Place one slice of cheese on the bottom slice of the waffle. Then, place two quarters of turkey and 2 quarters of ham. Place a final quarter of cheese on top.
Place the filled waffles onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
Option: If you would like to make these “Minnie Waffle Cristos,” place one half of an over-hard fried egg inside the sandwich after it comes out of the oven.
If desired, dust the sandwiches with powdered sugar.
Serve with sides of strawberry jam and maple syrup for dipping.
