Recipes Pork Poultry Sammies

Monty Cristo Waffle ‘Wiches

Serves 1

This is a great recipe to make as a surprise for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day breakfast or brunch (with the help of another grown-up helper)!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon apricot all fruit spread
  • 2 frozen multi-grain waffles, lightly toasted
  • 1 slice Black Forest ham
  • 1 slice smoked turkey breast
  • 1 slice Swiss cheese
  • 2 teaspoons butter, softened

Directions

  1. Ask a grown-up helper (GH) to pre-heat a panini press for you. You may also grill the sandwich in a skillet instead.
  2. Spread the apricot fruit spread on one side of each waffle and sandwich the ham, turkey and Swiss cheese in between. Lightly coat the outside of each waffle with butter.
  3. Ask your GH to grill the sandwich in the panini press. Cook until the cheese is melted and the waffles are golden-brown, about 2 minutes. Cut into quarters and eat while still warm.

Corn Fritters with Alex Guarnaschelli

Yields about 15-20 fritters

I could eat corn every day in one form or another. This is recent addition to my repertoire. A few notes: I like to make the batter and drop a little bit in the hot oil, fry and taste it to see if I want to add more salt, sugar or cayenne…Like a test run. Season the corn itself by tossing the kernels in a little salt and brown sugar so it has a lot of flavor itself…If using frozen or canned corn, drain of all excess liquid before seasoning and mixing into batter. If cooking fresh corn, cut the corn off the cob and cook in 1 tablespoon of butter in a sauté pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Then cool and drain of any excess liquid.
