- 8 slices of thick-cut white or wholemeal bread
- 4 tablespoons (80 g) Western Star Spreadable Original Soft
- 4 Bega Tasty Farmers’ or Country Light Natural Cheese Slices
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Begin by preheating your jaffle maker, ensuring it’s ready for the next steps.

- With your jaffle maker preheated and ready, carefully place the Mac ‘N’ Cheese-filled sandwiches into the machine. Cook in two batches if needed, ensuring each jaffle has enough space to cook evenly.
- Close the jaffle maker and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until the jaffles are beautifully golden and toasted to perfection.
- Once cooked, carefully remove the jaffles from the maker and place them on a serving plate.
