Apple-Cheddar Waffle Panini

Use leftover Maple Belgian Waffles to create these sweet and savory sandwiches.

 

 

Ingredients:

 

2 tbsp. coarse-grained mustard

4 tsp. maple syrup

4 leftover Maple Belgian Waffles

3 1/2 oz. grated sharp cheddar cheese

1 apple

oil

 

 

Directions

1. In a small bowl, mix mustard and maple syrup.
2. Spread mixture on one side of four leftover waffles. Place 1 3/4 ounces grated sharp Cheddar cheese (about 1/2 the cheese) on two of these waffles.
3. Thinly slice apple and divide between same two waffles, layering atop cheese. Sprinkle another 1 3/4 ounces grated sharp Cheddar cheese over apples. Top with remaining two waffles, spread-side down.
4. Place panini in a lightly oiled large skillet over medium-low heat. Set a plate or cake pan on top of panini and weigh down with food cans. Cook until waffles are toasted and cheese melts, about 8 minutes, turning after 4. (Alternatively, use a panini press and cook according to manufacturer's instructions.) Slice panini in half.
