Ingredients

2 frozen waffles (any variety — classic, buttermilk, or even blueberry)
1 tbsp butter (softened)
1 slice sharp cheddar cheese or mozzarella
1 tbsp cream cheese (optional)
1 tsp maple syrup or honey (plus more for drizzling)
Optional: pinch of cinnamon or a slice of cooked bacon

Timing

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes

Instructions

Step 1: Toast the Waffles

Lightly toast the frozen waffles until they’re crisp and golden — this prevents them from getting soggy during grilling.

Step 2: Assemble the Sandwich

Spread a thin layer of cream cheese (if using) on one side of a waffle. Add the cheddar or mozzarella slice, a light drizzle of maple syrup or honey, and a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired. Top with the second waffle to make a sandwich.

Step 3: Grill It

Butter the outside of each waffle. Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and cook the sandwich for 2–3 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the cheese melts and the waffles are golden brown.

Step 4: Serve

Serve warm with an extra drizzle of maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or fresh fruit on the side.

Tips for Success

Use crispy waffles: A pre-toast keeps them from getting too soft.
Mix cheeses: Try combining cheddar for sharpness with mozzarella for meltiness.
Add-ins: Bacon, sliced apples, or even a fried egg turn this into a full-on brunch sandwich.
No butter? Use cooking spray or coconut oil for grilling.

Variations

Dessert-style: Add Nutella or peanut butter inside, and top with strawberries or bananas.
Savory-style: Skip the syrup, use provolone and bacon, and add a dash of hot sauce.
Kid-friendly: Use mild cheese and a touch of jam inside for a fruity surprise.

Storage & Make-Ahead

Make ahead: Assemble and freeze uncooked sandwiches. Grill from frozen, adding an extra minute per side.
Leftovers: Store cooked sandwiches in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet.
