Ham, Egg, and Cheese Grilled Cheese

Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
8 slices whole wheat bread
8 ounces Wisconsin cheddar cheese, shredded
8 ounces thinly sliced ham

Directions

1. Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the top and bottom of the waffle iron or coat with nonstick spray.
2. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Add eggs whisking, until they just begin to set; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Continue cooking until thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, about 3-5 minutes; set aside.
3. Working in batches, place bread into the waffle iron. Top with cheese, ham, egg mixture, additional cheese and remaining bread slices. Close gently and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Serve immediately.

Notes: Using a waffle iron for grilled cheese sounded like fun. We only have a Belgian waffle iron though, and it didn't work as well as I would have liked. The bread slices were slightly too long for each waffle and due to the hinge I couldn't close the lid on all the sandwiches evenly. Lesson learned: cut bread a little, only cook 2 at a time instead of 4, and maybe just use a griddle or George Foreman style grill.
