Monte Cristo Waffle Sandwiches


A Monte Cristo sandwiches are similar to the French croque-monsieur, stuffed with ham and cheese, then dipped in egg before being pan-fried. Lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar to finish. This waffle recipe combines these two lovely meals. This version toasts everything up in the waffle maker for a delightful sweet and savory waffle sandwich.
