How to make Blueberry Jam, Ham, and Cheese Waffle Sandwich
Make the Jam
- Step 1
Turn on the waffle or 4-in-one sandwich maker and preheat it until the indicator light turns green.
- Step 2
If using fresh blueberries, rinse them and remove any stems. If using frozen blueberries, no need to thaw before starting.
- Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon zest (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir well to combine.
- Step 4
Let the jam simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens
Assemble the Sandwich
- Step 1
Spread blueberry jam on one slice of bread.
- Step 2
Layer with ham and cheese, then top with the second slice of bread.
- Step 3
Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the outside of the top slice of bread.
Cook the Sandwich
- Step 1
Place the sandwich in the preheated waffle maker.
- Step 2
For thicker sandwiches, avoid forcing the lid down. Gently press the lid to make contact with the top of the sandwich and cook for 2 minutes.
- Step 3
Once the bread has softened slightly, press the lid down more firmly and lock it if possible.
- Step 4
Continue cooking for an additional 4-6 minutes until the cheese melts and the bread turns golden and crispy.
Cool Slightly Before Serving
- Step 1
Turn off the waffle maker and let the sandwich cool for 3-5 minutes before opening the lid.
