Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices bread
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • pinch salt
  • pinch pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Waffle Iron: Plug in your waffle iron and set it to medium heat. If your waffle iron has a non-stick coating, you may not need extra oil/butter.
  • Prepare the Bread: Take each slice of bread and spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side. This will be the side that gets grilled.
  • Assemble the Waffle Sandwiches: On the non-buttered side of four slices, sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper, then add a generous layer of shredded cheese. If you're using any optional add-ins, layer a few pieces on top of the cheese before adding another slice of bread on top, buttered side facing out. Repeat with the remaining slices.
  • Flavor Boost (Optional): For an extra flavor kick, mix the garlic powder and dried oregano or Italian seasoning into the melted butter and brush it on the outer sides of the waffle sandwiches.
  • Cook in Waffle Iron: Carefully place the assembled sandwiches into the preheated waffle iron. Close the lid and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
  • Serve: Once cooked, carefully remove the waffle sandwiches from the iron using a spatula. Allow to cool slightly before cutting each sandwich into quarters or bite-sized pieces.
  • Enjoy: Serve warm, and feel free to dip them into marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce to complement the cheesy goodness.
