So, I got home from swimming laps to find my son and his mate had eaten all of the leftover curry I was planning to have for dinner - so jaffles it was...
My go to at the moment is multigrain bread, a healthy dose of vegemite, cheesy tinned spaghetti and cheddar cheese. Cook till golden brown - Yummo!
Also worth a try is pizza sauce with your ham and cheese - or maybe some mustard.
I'm looking for some new ideas... What's your go-to jaffle filling - and/or what's your mad scientist mix?
Mate, you gotta try Philadelphia cheese and Golden Circle tinned pineapple. Unbelievable. ![]()

On WHITE bread?
Cleaning out Dads shed - found a box of long forgotten camping gear, with - you guessed it - a couple of jaffle irons.
One of them took a bit of effort to get open though - they had last been used in the mid 1980's.
I had to belt it a few times against the shed floor to shake it loose - found it still had a jaffle inside - [full of plum jam]
So purely for research and reference purposes........Nuked it and had it for smoko ![]()

You gotta report on the taste and after effects....
I make a cheese border just around the edge of the bread, then crack an egg and put it in the cheese square border/retainer but you can't get all the egg white in so discard some.. Salt n pepper n 3 minutes later. Yum
Soak chicken thigh in buttermilk overnight.
Dip in flour, then egg, the Tandaco southern chicken seasoning.
Straight into oil in fry pan. Drain.
White bread in jaffle iron.
Diced blue cheese and few dollops of sour cream.
Diced celery chunks.
Grated cheddar to fill the gaps.
Toast that.
not a jaffle but better .. quality thick multigrain bread.. lightly toast... smear with vege mite ...spread of sprouted mung beans ..layer of cheese on top ..pine apple ring optional ..under the griller for 5 mins ...

If I was going to that extent, may as well do the dessert:
pears poached in in Midori then sliced, with caramel and slivered almonds and that dessert cheese whats it called again?
(derivation of my dessert pizza)
Leftover roast chook, cubed
good amount of Aoli
those bacon bits that come with the silly Caesar salad kit at supermarket
tasty cheese but not too much as it already has the saucy bit.

To get the egg in I do one of the following
- rip a little hole in the middle of the bottom slice of bread about the size of a 10 cent piece. The egg then goes into the hole and even coats the outside of the bread. While egg fits in.
- or just go with a top piece of bread. Can even put in 2 eggs, one in each side on the bottom straight into the waffle maker and place a piece of bread in top. Add sweet chilli, tobacco or hot chilli sauce sometimes.
Tinned sweet corn, cheese and sweet chilli sauce is good
edit - oooops tobasco

No ill effects at all,
Tasted like IXL plum jam, with a hint of charcoal from the edges of the toasted bread.
Must admit, before I microwaved the jaffle, it looked pretty dry - so I added a little water to the plate before it was zapped, and let it steam for a bit before wolfing it down.
Left over bolognaise sauce (no pasta). Both chedder and Palmesan cheese.(the strong dried type)
Just straight up, left-over spaghetti bolognese. Pasta'n'all.
...now I'm wondering if I should rub some garlic on the bread before toasting. ![]()
Read an article recently that suggested using mayo instead of butter as the outside lubricant. Haven't tried yet so no reports on its success.
Dark chocolate and raspberry jam. Liberal amounts of butter on the outside before toasting. Dust with cinnamon & icing sugar.![]()
