SERVES 4

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup (320 g) leftover Bacon Mac ‘N’ Cheese
• 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:

1. Begin by preheating your jaffle maker, ensuring it’s ready for the next steps.
2. Take your leftover Bacon Mac ‘N’ Cheese and gently warm it in the microwave until slightly softened and easy to spread.
3. For each sandwich, take two slices of bread and generously spread Western Star Spreadable Original Soft on both sides.
4. Now it’s time to assemble the jaffles. Divide the Bacon Mac ‘N’ Cheese mixture evenly among four slices of bread. Make sure to spread it out, leaving about a 1 cm border around the edges.
5. Top each Mac ‘N’ Cheese-covered slice with a Bega Tasty Farmers’ Natural Cheese Slice, adding a layer of irresistible cheesiness.
6. Complete the sandwiches by placing the remaining four slices of bread on top, creating a sandwich with the cheesy filling nestled in the middle.
7. 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.
8. Close the jaffle maker and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until the jaffles are beautifully golden and toasted to perfection.
9. Once cooked, carefully remove the jaffles from the maker and place them on a serving plate.
