Ingredients

  • 0.3 lb ham boiled thin
  • 0.5 cup butter unsalted softened
  • 16 slices sandwich bread white firm

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • oven
  • plastic wrap
  • waffle iron

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. 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.
