Critical Success Points

  • Properly preheat the waffle iron to achieve a caramelized texture.
  • Cook the waffles until they are golden and slightly crisp.
  • Grill the sandwich while covering the pan so the cheese melts without burning the waffle.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot waffle iron; use oven mitts.
  • Be careful of hot butter splatters in the skillet.
  • Cook the eggs until the white is fully set to avoid any salmonella risk.
