Waffle Monte Cristos

Waffles packed with turkey, ham, bacon and apricot preserves have so much sweet, smoky love going on. I use frozen waffles to save time, but have at it if you want to put your waffle iron to good use. —Kelly Reynolds, Urbana, Illinois

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup apricot preserves
  • 8 frozen waffles
  • 4 slices deli turkey
  • 4 slices deli ham
  • 4 slices Havarti cheese (about 3 ounces)
  • 4 bacon strips, cooked

  • Maple syrup

Directions

  • Preheat griddle over medium heat. Spread preserves over four waffles. Layer with turkey, ham, cheese and bacon; top with remaining waffles. Lightly spread outsides of waffles with butter.
  • Place on griddle; cook 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and heated through. Serve with syrup for dipping.
Health Tip: Yep, this is one decadent sandwich. Use cooking spray instead of butter and cut the bacon and cheese in half to save 130 calories, 7 g saturated fat and almost 300 mg sodium per serving.
