Ham Waffle Sandwich

This super easy (leftover) ham waffle sandwich was inspired by my then-6-year-old kid.

My son and I love watching cooking shows together.  In fact, thanks to these cooking shows, my son is more open to try different food.  Anyway, we were watching one of our favorite cooking shows, Diners, Drive-in and Dives.  A diner serves their homemade ham and waffle sandwich.  As soon as the host, Guy Fiery, finished tasting it.  My son told me, "Mommy, we can try that."  So, there it is. 

CHEF NOTES

Most of the time, I buy pre-sliced uncured ham in a relatively small package to serve it.  But if you serve a ham dinner and got a lot of leftover, this is a great way to use it all up.  Best of all, it is unbelievably delicious and easy to make, no matter if you are making one or several for on-the-go meal.

Waffle Recipe Steps with Photos

Butter one side of each waffle and put a slice of ham between the buttered sides.

Top the sandwich with maple syrup.

You can cut up this sandwich to mini sandwiches and serve as snack or finger food. To prevent the mini sandwiches to become soggy, serve the syrup on the side.

Wrap the sandwich individually in a piece of wax or parchment paper and bring along a mini to-go cup with syrup for dipping.

Wrap the assembled sandwiches in parchment paper and store them in the fridge. Pop one into the microwave to warm up whenever you need it.

1. After assembling the sandwiches, wrap them individually with parchment or wax paper.
2. Put maple syrup into a small to-go cup for dipping

Waffle Recipe for After School Snacks Or Finger Food

My hubby and my son love the waffles with 4 mini ones sticking together.  You can cut the ham sandwiches by the size of the mini waffles to make mini ham waffle sandwich bites. 

You can serve mini bites for after school snacks or finger food in a party.  Always serve the maple syrup on the side to prevent the sandwiches becoming soggy.
