Waffle Iron Monte Cristo

There is absolutely nothing in the world that beats the quiet of the first morning of the weekend, a black and white movie playing, coffee brewing and a breakfast on the menu. There's a light fog over the fields this morning, everything is damp and cool, and the wind is a gentle whisper. I'm done being poetic, the fall season just brings out a kind of romance in  me, it's not just harvest season and sweater weather, it's the feeling of the warmth of your hot apple cider reaching your nose and the smell of something savory in the slow cooker. No other season compares, anyway here's a delicious breakfast recipe to chomp on.

Ingredients (1 sandwich):

• 2 slices white bread
• Dijon mustard
• Mayo
• 2 slices ham (I used thick from a left over ham)
• 2 slices swiss cheese
• Blackberry jam for dipping
• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp half and half

This song just sounds how everything looks, if that makes any sense. Stardust is a classic song and I've listened to a lot of different versions, so here's one of my favorite renditions:

Directions:

1. Preheat your waffle iron.
2. In a bowl whisk together your half and half and egg to make an egg wash.
3. On one slice of bread spread your mustard, then on the other slice spread your mayo. Then take each slice and on the side without condiments quickly dip it in your egg wash.
4. Place your ham and cheese over your condiment side of your bread then combine the two pieces of bread. 
5. Place your sandwich in the waffle iron and cook it until it turns bread.
6. While the sandwich cooks place about two tbsp of jam in a separate small bowl.
7. When your sandwich is cooked dip and serve!

Happy Eatings Everyone!
