Jaffles


There's been a bit of talk lately on one of the forums about good old fashioned jaffle irons. I thought mine was ancient at about 50 years but someone has an iron that's about 100! Indestructible, they are. Anyway, anyone got any "unusual" ideas for jaffle fillings? For example, someone suggested a dollop of jam or fruit in the middle of leftover meat, which sounds interesting. We all know about most of the tried and trues, so a few novel ideas would be welcome.

Edit: Here's a web site I just found that has some interesting info about jaffle irons.

Turkey slices, cranberry sauce and a few slivers of brie cheese.......Yum

And for desert.....Granny Smith apple, thinly sliced, sprinkle of lemon juice, coat each apple slice with brown sugar and cinnamon, jaffled between buttered raisin bread. Custard optional...

Sounds noice, Chris. Merry Cans have a sweet tooth. Use cinnamon bread instead of ordinary, fill with cubes of chocolate (any) and marshmallows. Not my cuppa but if you're into that kinda thing, you can watch the vid on Youtube. Or just do it. Nothing complicated about it.

Looks interesting, David. But further to the cinnamon bread idea above, I was thinking maybe raisin toast would work well with leftover curry. I'd love to try it myself but I'm still waiting for my gums to be repaired before I can get my bloody dentures!

Poor Gary - you need lots of soup and porridge.

Best wishes.

My favourite is cheese egg and onion, with a dash of chilli sauce.

Have you perfected dropping in a raw egg, Troopy? Or do you fry/boil it first?

I usually push the bottom slice of bread down into the jaffle iron to make a bit of a well, drop in the raw egg and some sliced onion. A splodge of chilli sauce, then a layer of cheese. For some of the square types of jaffle irons that don't seal the edges so well, make sure to keep the filling well inside the edge of the iron or you will risk dropping the hot runny inside of your jaffle into your lap. And yes, the eggs should always be runny.. :) We have a collection of jaffle irons for various occasions too. The "simple single" the "double doosy" and the "triple trojan" not their actual brand names, but just what we call them.

Hey Gary, I don't know about jaffles, but I love adding fruit to my vegetables salads. It adds a subtlety that can't be beaten, and really jazzes up an ordinary salad. But, keeping to the thread, how about leftover curry and sliced banana? Yummo!

Agree, Romy. Sliced banana and leftover curry works really well... and so does a sprinkle of dessicated coconut. In fact, a sprinkle of dessicated coconut would probably work with your salads as well.

What a splendid idea! Like those frozen ones with a filling rather than a topping. Good thinking, 99. Just think of all those goodies like chopped mushies, garlic, olives, pepperoni, onion, mozzarella, etc. And don't say anchovies. Ew!

 I hope my reputations is not that bad!

My dear RN wife ran me over in our driveway! While reversing the car out of the garage when we were going to town!

Instead we had a quick drive to the emergency department and three nights in St Vincents!

Any other questions?

Thanks for asking.

This is a nice take on an old Jaffle Iron.

Could not resist ordering, as they DO ship to AU.

The videos are worth a watch.
