Gluten Free Waffle Sammy Gf Recipe

Preheat and prepare

Preheat your waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions. Lightly grease plates of the waffle iron with a little melted butter or oil if it’s not nonstick.

Dry ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt until evenly combined.

Wet ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until foamy. Add the milk, melted butter (or oil), and vanilla extract; whisk to combine.

Combine batter

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few small lumps are okay. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to hydrate the gluten-free flour.

Cook waffles

Spoon or pour the recommended amount of batter for your waffle iron (usually 3/4 to 1 cup) onto the preheated iron. Close and cook until the waffle is golden brown and crisp at the edges, about 4–6 minutes depending on your iron. Remove to a wire rack and keep warm in a low oven (about 200°F / 95°C) while you cook remaining waffles. This recipe yields 6 medium waffles (about 3-inch rounds or equivalent).

Prepare spread

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Layer the sandwich

Place one warm waffle on a plate. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the mayo-mustard mixture evenly over the waffle. Top with a layer of sliced turkey (about 2–3 oz), a slice or two of cheddar (total ~1–2 oz), a few spinach leaves, and 2–3 thin tomato slices. If using avocado or pickles, add them now. Finish with another spread of 1 tablespoon mayo-mustard on a second waffle and place it on top to form a sandwich.

Optional press & melt

If you prefer the cheese melted, place the assembled sandwich on a baking sheet and put in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5–7 minutes, or use a skillet over medium-low heat and press gently with a spatula, covering with a lid for 2–3 minutes, until the cheese softens. Watch closely so the waffles do not over-brown.

Serve

Slice the waffle sammy in half if desired and serve warm with optional hot sauce or extra mustard on the side.

Make-ahead: Waffles can be made ahead and frozen between sheets of parchment. Reheat in a toaster or oven until crisp before assembling. For a vegetarian version, substitute turkey with grilled portobello or marinated tofu and use plant-based cheese.
