I was given a copy of 150 Best Waffle Maker Recipes by Marilyn Haugen © 2017 plus a copy to give away courtesy of Robert Rose Books. All opinions are my own.
This cookbook expands the usefulness of your waffle maker beyond the traditional waffles— though food experts Marilyn and Jennifer have included those, too, with recipes for classics like buttermilk, cornmeal, multigrain and buckwheat waffles, baked in just minutes.
But there’s so much more you can do! You can serve up breakfasts, sandwiches, pizzas, main dishes, snacks and, yes, scrumptious desserts!
An electric waffle maker is perfect for busy families, students and anyone looking for a quick, easy and satisfying meal. The sizzling heat of the grids gives you the option to “grill” or cook burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, kabobs, fries and cookies — just like a panini maker, but with more texture (and they look more fun, too)!
150 Best Waffle Maker Recipes answers these questions:
• What do I need to know before buying a waffle maker?
• What tools/accessories and equipment will I need?
• What ingredients will I need in my waffle-making pantry?
• Can I make gluten-free recipes in my waffle maker?

Nothing can beat the scrumptious simplicity of a well-made club sandwich — unless you take that sandwich and waffle it.
Makes 1 serving
• Preheat waffle maker
Tips
For the best results when toasting sandwiches in the waffle maker, choose a bread that is more dense than fluffy. Bread that is too soft and airy will break apart.
The bacon grease in the waffle maker will be extremely hot, so be very cautious. Depending on your waffle maker, you can either carefully turn it and drain off some of the grease or dab off some of the grease with a paper towel.
You may want to rotate your sandwich 180 degrees halfway through cooking if the bread is not toasting evenly.
2 slices bacon, cut in half crosswise
Butter, softened
2 slices sturdy white sandwich bread
Mayonnaise
2 slices deli roasted chicken
1/4 tomato, thinly sliced
1 leaf romaine or iceberg lettuce
1. Arrange bacon slices in waffle maker, spacing them apart. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Wipe out waffle maker (see tip).
2. Butter one side of each bread slice. Spread mayonnaise on the other side of each slice. Place 1 slice buttered side down and top with chicken, bacon, tomato and lettuce. Cover with the other bread slice, buttered side up.
3. Transfer sandwich to waffle maker, as far from the hinge as possible. Close lid, gently pressing down, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until bread is toasted to your liking. Cut in half and serve immediately.
Morning Waffled Cinnamon Rolls
Waking up in the morning is so much better when the smell of warm cinnamon and brown sugar is wafting through the air. Baking cinnamon rolls in the oven can seem to take an eternity, but when you waffle them, they are ready in about 3 minutes. The dough needs an hour to rise, though, so if you are in a hurry, prepare it the night before.
Makes 20 rolls
• Electric mixer
Tips
The dough can be prepared through step 3 and refrigerated in an airtight container overnight.
If the sugar mixture gets messy in the waffle iron as you cook the cinnamon rolls, carefully use a damp paper towel or a moistened silicone pastry brush to wipe out drips between batches and prevent burnt sugar from sticking to the rolls.
