Ingredients- 4 slices of bread
- 4 eggs
- 4 slices of ham
- 4 Tbsp strawberry jam
- 2 slices of cheddar cheese
- 2 Tbsp milk
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, trim the crusts off the 4 slices of bread. This will give your French toast squares a neater appearance and a softer texture once cooked.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the 4 eggs and 2 Tbsp of milk until well combined. You can add a tiny pinch of salt if you like, but the ham and cheese provide plenty of flavor, so it’s optional. Whisk gently with a fork until smooth, without creating too much foam.
Step 3
Lightly grease your waffle maker with a little cooking oil. Dip one slice of the prepared bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak up the liquid. Place the soaked bread onto the preheated waffle maker. Spread 2 Tbsp of strawberry jam evenly over the bread, followed by 2 slices of ham.
Step 4
Next, place one slice of cheddar cheese on top of the ham. The cheese will melt beautifully as it cooks.
Step 5
Dip another slice of bread into the egg mixture and place it on top of the cheese, creating a sandwich. Close the waffle maker lid and gently press down to create the signature waffle pattern.
Step 6
Cook on medium-low heat, flipping occasionally if needed, until both sides are golden brown and crispy. This ensures the inside is warm and gooey with melted cheese and jam, while the outside is perfectly toasted. Enjoy your delicious Ham & Cheese Waffle French Toast Squares immediately!
