My new favorite thing! These were SO good and so simple. The options are endless for what you could put inside. They came out crispy and melty and so delicious!! Make sure to spray your waffle iron with cooking spray. They were completely cooked in about 5 minutes. I did press on the iron a few times to make sure they were cooked through.
