Bruleed French Toast Chaffle Monte Cristo
A Monte Cristo sandwich made with a sweet French toast chaffle.
Equipment
- Dash mini-waffle iron
- Blender
Ingredients
For the Chaffles
- 1 large egg
- 1/8 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tbsp granulated Swerve or monkfruit
- 1 tbsp cream cheese
- 2 tsp brown sugar substitute
For the Filling
- 2 ounces deli ham
- 2 ounces deli turkey
- 1 slice Swiss or Provolone cheese
- 1/2 to 1 tbsp sugar-free jelly
Instructions
For the Chaffles
- Place all ingredients except for the brown sugar substitute in a blender, making sure the cream cheese is closest to the blades. Blend until smooth and slightly foamy.
- Preheat your Dash. When the light turns off, open it and sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of the brown sugar substitute directly onto the iron. Pour half the batter onto the iron, then sprinkle with another 1/2 teaspoon of brown sugar substitute. Close the iron and cook for 3-5 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the iron and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
For the Filling
- Spread the jelly onto the inside surface of the first chaffle. This should be the surface that was facing up as it cooked.
- Layer the ham, turkey, and cheese in a small microwave-safe round bowl. Heat in the microwave for 40 seconds, until the cheese is melted. Invert the bowl onto the top chaffle, so the cheese is directly underneath the jelly. Put the bottom chaffle on, flip it over, and serve.
