Recipe Tips
Toast your waffles first: Otherwise the inside will get soggy before the outside crisps up, ensuring a perfect waffle sandwich.
Use room temp cream cheese: It blends easier and gets that whipped texture with the cottage cheese, especially vital for a smooth filling in your waffle sandwich.
Don’t skimp on the jam: Go heavy—it melts down and creates the best gooey texture for your waffle sandwich.
Cook low and slow in the pan: You want the outside golden and the inside melty, essential for the ideal waffle sandwich.
Use a mini waffle maker for smaller sandwiches or slice diagonally for the full diner aesthetic, adding a twist to your waffle sandwich.
Ingredient Swaps: No cottage cheese ? Use all cream cheese or sub Greek yogurt for a tangy protein twist. No maple syrup ? Honey or date syrup works just as well. Dairy-free ? Swap in DF cream cheese and use a dairy-free waffle like Birch Benders or Van’s. Need more protein ? Add a scoop of unflavored protein powder to the filling or use high-protein waffles. Feeling fruity ? Add banana slices or strawberries between the layers for a PB&J-adjacent waffle sandwich vibe.
Best eaten same day, but if you save it: Store loosely wrapped in the fridge for up to 1 day. Reheat in a skillet over medium-low heat or toaster oven to bring back that crisp freshness in your waffle sandwich.
