Ingredients
  

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1 ¾ cups milk

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Cooking spray or vegetable oil for greasing the waffle maker

8 slices of your choice of deli meat (e.g., turkey, ham, or chicken)

4 slices of cheese (e.g., cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)

1 medium avocado, thinly sliced

A handful of fresh spinach or arugula

Optional: Mustard or mayonnaise for extra flavor

Instructions
 

Prepare the Waffle Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs lightly, then incorporate the milk and melted butter, stirring well until fully combined. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, gently stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

    Preheat the Waffle Maker: Begin by preheating your waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. To prevent the waffles from sticking, lightly grease the cooking surface with cooking spray or a brush of vegetable oil.

      Cook the Waffles: Carefully pour enough batter into the preheated waffle maker to cover the surface, typically around ½ cup, but this may vary based on your specific waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for approximately 3-5 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown and crisp. Gently remove each waffle and set aside, continuing the process until all the batter has been used.

        Assemble the Mini Waffle Sandwiches: Start with one waffle and layer your sandwich ingredients. Place a slice of cheese on top, followed by your choice of deli meat, a few slices of avocado, and a small handful of fresh spinach or arugula. If you wish, spread a thin layer of mustard or mayonnaise on another waffle before placing it on top to finish your sandwich.

          Cut & Pack: Using a sharp knife, cut each waffle sandwich into quarters or halves for easy handling. These delightful mini sandwiches can be served warm or packed for a tasty lunch on-the-go!

            Storage Tip: If you plan to prepare these ahead of time, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them in a toaster oven for a few minutes to regain their crispiness!
