Ingredients:
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened |
16 slices firm white sandwich bread |
8 thin slices boiled ham (1/4 lb) |
8 thin slices swiss cheese (1/4 lb) |
Directions:
1. Preheat waffle iron on high until just beginning to smoke. Reduce heat to moderate and brush generously with some butter.
2. Spread butter on 1 side of 8 bread slices and turn slices over. Top 4 slices with 1 slice ham and 1 slice cheese, folding in any overhang, then top with remaining 4 buttered bread slices, buttered sides up. Cook sandwiches in batches (number of batches will depend on size of your waffle maker) until bread is golden and crisp, 4 to 6 minutes.
3. Assemble and cook 4 more sandwiches in same manner.
4. Just before serving, cut each sandwich into 4 triangles.
5. Cooks' note: Sandwiches can be cooked 4 hours ahead and cooled completely, then kept, wrapped in plastic wrap, at room temperature. Reheat in 1 layer on a baking sheet in a preheated 350°F oven until heated through, about 6 minutes, before cutting into triangles.
