Well, Eggo Waffles aren’t just for breakfast anymore. There are many fun and yummy ways to enjoy them at other times of the day – lunch, dinner, snack time, and even for dessert! Today’s recipe that I created can be served up for lunch or dinner. I decided to make a sandwich using Eggo Waffles. Now, I really wanted to make a breakfast sandwich that incorporates both sweet and savory flavors.
I ended up with this delicious Monte Cristo Sandwich – slices of turkey and ham along with a slice of swiss cheese sandwiched in beween 2 Eggo waffles. Then it gets dipped into an egg batter and is fried in a little butter. Plenty of savory there, now for the sweet! You finish it by sprinkling the sandwich with a little powdered sugar and serve it up with some raspberry jam (0r strawberry jam) for dipping.
Eggo has also provided me with a giveaway to give one lucky RMK reader. This giveaway includes an Eggo Expand-O Waffle Holder, Eggo Warm N’ Pour Syrup Container, Waffle Tote bag, and the Eggo Recipes. To enter, You have until Sunday April 7 at midnight (MST) to enter.

Real Mom Kitchen
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 8 Eggo Homestyle or Buttermilk Waffles thawed
- 12 thin slices turkey breast
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 12 slices Black Forest or other ham
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Powdered sugar
- ¼ cup raspberry or strawberry jam
Instructions
- In a wide, shallow bowl, beat eggs and milk to combine.
- Lay out 4 Eggo Waffles on a work surface and top each with 2 slices turkey, 1 slice cheese, 2 slices ham. Then top each with one of the remaining 4 Eggo Waffles.
- Warm a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Melt butter (if pan is not large enough to accommodate all 4 sandwiches, melt half of butter and cook sandwiches in 2 batches). When butter sizzles, swirl pan to coat.
- Carefully dip each sandwich in egg mixture, turning to lightly coat both sides. Shake off excess egg mixture.
- Lay sandwiches in hot pan. Cook, turning once, until sandwiches are well-browned on both sides.
- To serve, cut sandwiches in half and sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve jam alongside sandwiches for dipping. Serves 4.
