If you've ever strolled through New Orleans Square in Disneyland, the aroma of freshly baked waffles likely beckoned you towards the nearest food cart. Among the array of options, the Disneyland Waffle Cristo from Royal Street Veranda is a standout, drawing inspiration from the Monte Cristo sandwich, a classic French dish that combines sweet and savory flavors in perfect harmony.
You will need a waffle iron to make this dish. I like to use a Dash Mini Waffle Maker. My waffles were not perfect and you have to make sure not to use too much batter or it will spill over. You may think you are not using enough batter but practice makes perfect! You will find the right ratio after you've made a few. The batter is made with Carbon's Golden Malted Pancake & Waffle Flour Mix which is the official waffle mix of the Disney Parks. All you have to do is follow the instructions on the package to make the waffle batter, then add some swiss cheese, turkey, and ham to make a sandwich! This recipe is relatively easy and you can save some batter if you do not want to make all the waffle sandwiches at once.
