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.

Rainbow Grilled Cheese Waffleich - made with colored cheese and pressed in a waffle maker

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.
