Breakfast Grilled Cheese

By kristentirrell

Grilled cheese meets cheese danish for breakfast! A waffle sandwich is made with creamy and delicious cream cheese and cottage cheese filling, and then grilled. Mmmm.

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup whipped cream cheese
• 1/4 cup cottage cheese
• 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, plus more for topping
• 4 frozen waffles (untoasted)
• 1 to 2 tablespoons jam (any flavor)
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more if needed
• Ground cinnamon, for topping

Preparation

Step 1

Mix the cream cheese, cottage cheese and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl. Spread 2 waffles with the jam, then top with the cream cheese mixture; cover with the remaining 2 waffles.

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sandwiches and cook until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes per side, adding more butter to the pan if needed. (Adjust the heat if the waffles are browning too quickly.)

Let the sandwiches rest 1 minute before serving. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and cinnamon.
