Gluten Free Waffle Grilled Cheese
Colder weather will be here soon in New York. There's nothing like a gooey hot grilled cheese and soup on a cold day or especially a snowy day.
Mix all ingredients for waffles in a large bowl. Whisk well until there are no lumps. Make waffles using your waffle iron. I used this recipe for the waffles and just left out the vanilla.
Preheat grill to 400. Spread butter on one side of one waffle. Place cheese on the other waffle. Place one waffle on top of the other to make a sandwich. Spread butter onto the grill and let it melt. Place the sandwich onto the grill. Allow to grill until golden brown. Flip with a spatula. Grill that side until golden brown and cheese is melted.
Remove from grill and place onto a plate. You can open the sandwich and add additions of your choice in the middle and then close the sandwich again, or you can eat as is.
Soup season is right around the corner!
Serve with your favorite soup and enjoy.
