These waffle sandwiches have a sweet, smoky flavor thanks to three meats, a slice of cheese and apricot preserves. Make them with store-bought waffles to save time, or pull out that waffle maker and make them fresh.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup apricot preserves
• 8 frozen waffles
• 4 slices deli turkey
• 4 slices deli ham
• 4 slices havarti cheese (about 3 ounces)
• 4 bacon strips, cooked
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• maple syrup

Directions

1. Preheat griddle over medium heat. Spread preserves over 4 waffles. Layer with turkey, ham, cheese and bacon; top with remaining waffles. Lightly spread outsides of waffles with butter.
2. Place on griddle; cook 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and heated through. Serve with syrup for dipping.
