Go for protein by slipping a smoked turkey or ham sandwich into your morning routine. Using the waffle iron makes it a breeze to cook and gives it a fun-to-eat texture.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp (25 mL) butter, softened
- 8 slices whole grain bread
- 2 tsp (10 mL) mustard (optional)
- 4 slices smoked turkey breast or smoked ham (6 oz/175 g)
- 4 large slices tomato (optional)
- 8 thin slices Swiss cheese (4 oz/125 g)
Steps
- Butter 1 side of each bread slice. Arrange 4 of the slices, butter side down, on plate or waxed paper. Spread with mustard (if using).
- Top with turkey, tomato (if using) and cheese. Top with remaining bread, butter side up.
- In electric sandwich grill or square waffle iron, cook sandwiches on medium-high, 1 or 2 at a time, for about 4 minutes or until golden and cheese is melted. (Alternatively, cook in skillet over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or in 350°F/180°C toaster oven for about 2 minutes per side.)
