Equipment

  • Dash mini-waffle iron

Ingredients
  

For the Chaffles

  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided

For the Sauce

  • 2 ounces cream cheese cubed
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 2 tsp dry sherry optional
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • white pepper to taste

For the Sandwich

  • 2 slices fresh tomato
  • 1/2 pound roast turkey breast see notes above
  • 1/2-1 tsp grated parmesan
  • 2 slices bacon cooked

Instructions
 

For the Chaffles

  • Preheat the Dash. Once the light goes off, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cheddar directly onto the iron, top with half of the beaten egg, and then top that with another tablespoon of the cheese. Close the iron and cook for 3-5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

For the Sauce

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cream cheese and heavy cream and whisk constantly until the cream cheese dissolves. Add the parmesan and Swiss cheeses and continue whisking until the cheeses melt. Whisk in the sherry, if using, and the nutmeg and white pepper. Continue whisking until smooth, then remove from the heat.

For the Sandwich

  • Put your oven rack on the second-highest position and set the oven to broil.
  • If using skillet bakers, put one chaffle on the bottom of each skillet baker. If you don't have a skillet baker, line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil, grease the foil with butter, and then place the two chaffles on top of the greased foil.
  • Top each chaffle with a tomato slice and 4 ounces of roast turkey, then top with half the sauce. Sprinkle each sandwich with 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of grated parmesan.
  • Place the sandwiches under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, until the sauce begins to bubble and get brown spots on top. Remove from the oven and place on a heatproof surface.
  • Break the cooked bacon slices in half and criss-cross them on top of the sandwich. Serve immediately with a knife and fork.
