"Waffle" Sandwiches

Last night we saw an episode of "Boy Meets Grill" (FoodTV) where the "boy" made different sandwiches. (The Croissant Filet Mignon sandwich looked pretty good.)

Hence, this morning I was inspired to make grilled sandwiches for breakfast with what was on hand in the fridge.

We don't have a panini grill, so, what the heck, let's use the WAFFLE IRON! Crank that baby to 5, the highest setting. It worked pretty good.

A few drops of "E-Ve-Oh-Oh" (thanks Rachel Ray) on the outside of the bread slices. Slice each of Swiss and Rosemary Ham inside. (Thanks Trader Joes!) Into the iron it goes. Press down hard for a few minutes and it's eatin' time!

G and the boys wanted more, but no more ham. Used raw button mushrooms instead with a few drops of evoo on 'em. Yummy. Nice cold beer would have been nice, but it was morning and I had to go to work. Bummer.

We always kinda wanted a panini grill. On tv they say you can use two frying pans stacked together to press the sandwich, but then you gotta heat two pans which means washing two pans and I'm a "path of least resistance" kinda guy. (aka lazy) Anyways, I don't mind the waffle pattern; kinda like it actually.

The "boy" on tv also made pizza on the grill on the next ep. Maybe I'll try that in the waffle iron next. Or quesadillas.
