No one puts grilled cheese sandwich in a corner! Bet you never thought you’d read those words. But, seriously, how do you take a grilled cheese sandwich and make it a TEN? Simple. I have 2 words for you: waffle maker. Yep. You read that right. Grill the cheese sandwich in a waffle maker. Call it a waffled grill cheese.
I almost feel like I am lying to my kiddos when I make it because they look at me like I am a god damn wizard. I don’t have it in me to tell them that it is as simple as using a waffle maker, two slices of bread, and cheese. I just go on letting them think I am, in fact, a god damn wizard.
And all of this is coming from someone who is not traditionally a grilled cheese person. In the past, the idea of a grilled cheese didn’t really do it for me.
Pro tip: Layer more cheese on the bread than your gut tells you. Contrary to what you probably (hopefully) usually hear, do NOT trust your gut in this moment. Your gut will lead you astray (especially if you are lactose intolerant). Because of the waffle maker, the cheese may be pushed out of the sides of the bread. In order to avoid just having waffle toast, layer on more cheese please.
