This recipe crafts a delightful sweet and savory wafflewich. Toasted waffles are layered with creamy Havarti, crispy bacon, and sweet peach jam, offering a unique and quick meal or snack. It's a simple yet satisfying combination of flavors and textures.
Equipment
- 1 Toaster For crisping waffles
- 1 Spreading Knife For jam application
- 5 Plates For assembly and serving
- 1 Small Non-stick Pan (optional) For gently warming to melt cheese
Ingredients
Main
- 1 box Eggo Waffles I used Buttermilk
- 10 slices Havarti cheese
- 10 slices bacon cooked
- 5 tablespoons peach jam
Instructions
- Toast all Eggo waffles to a golden crisp, following package instructions for optimal texture.
- While waffles are toasting, ensure your cooked bacon, Havarti cheese slices, and peach jam are readily available for efficient assembly.
- Once toasted, carefully arrange five waffles on a clean work surface or individual serving plates.
- Evenly spread approximately 1 tablespoon of peach jam on the top surface of each of these five waffles.
- Place two slices of creamy Havarti cheese over the jam layer on each of the five waffles.
- Layer two slices of crispy, cooked bacon on top of the Havarti cheese on each prepared waffle.
- Carefully place the remaining five toasted waffles on top of the fillings to complete the five individual wafflewiches.
- For an enhanced experience, gently warm the assembled wafflewiches in a dry non-stick pan over low heat for 1-2 minutes per side, or briefly in a panini press, until the cheese slightly melts.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal contrast of warm, crispy waffles, melted cheese, and the sweet-savory fillings.
Notes
For an elevated experience, use premium quality Havarti cheese and a artisanal peach jam with real fruit pieces. Ensure bacon is crispy, providing a textural contrast to the soft waffle and creamy cheese. Toast waffles until perfectly golden and crisp; a slightly under-toasted waffle can lead to a soggy sandwich. While the recipe implies cold assembly, gently warming the assembled wafflewiches in a dry non-stick pan or panini press for 1-2 minutes per side will slightly melt the Havarti, enhancing its creaminess and integrating the flavors more cohesively. A pinch of flaky sea salt or a grind of black pepper can beautifully balance the sweetness of the jam.
