Rainbow Grilled Cheese Waffleich – St. Patrick’s Day Lunch

Do you like to do a little something fun for your kids on St. Patrick’s Day? I do. But now that my kids are older, they aren’t into the cutesy foods anymore. So while I was perusing Pinterest for some ideas, I came across a rainbow grilled cheese sandwich that looked so fun. And since my kids enjoy grilled cheese sandwiches, I decided to put a twist on it and create a rainbow grilled cheese waffleich for a fun St. Patrick’s Day lunch.

If you don’t know what a waffleich is, it’s basically any sandwich that has been ‘grilled’ in a waffle maker. It’s a quick way to crisp up the outside of a sandwich and it’s my youngest daughter’s favorite way to make hot sandwiches.

Of course, you don’t have to use a waffle maker to make this fun sandwich. This could be cooked in a pan like a regular grilled cheese sandwich. But when you use a waffle maker, all the cheese colors peeks through and you get a fun rainbow surprise throughout the bread.

Rainbow Grilled Cheese Waffleich

• Heat up the waffle maker.
• Divide 1 1/4 cup of shredded cheese between 5 bowls.
• Stir in 5-6 drops of one food coloring to each bowl. I used blue, red, orange, green, and yellow.

• Cut bread diagonally into 3/4″ to 1″ slices.
• Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise onto both sides of each slice.
• Add a spoonful of colored each colored cheese onto one slice.
• Place the other bread on the cheese.
• Place the sandwich into the waffle maker.
• Close the waffle maker and add pressure until the sandwich is flat. Cook until the outside is crisp and lightly browned.

When it’s ready, serve it up with some Ranch Dressing for dipping and enjoy!
