Mashed Potato Waffle, Crispy Turkey, Smashed Avocado, Cranberry and Brie Melts

Step 1

To make the waffles. In a medium bowl whisk together the mashed potatoes, buttermilk, eggs and melted butter until smooth. Stir in the minced sage.

Step 2

Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder and stir until just combined. Fold in the parmesan cheese.

Step 3

Preheat waffle iron. When ready scoop the batter (you will need to spread the batter out using the back of a spoon) into the hot, greased waffle maker and cook to your preference. Repeat with the remaining batter. The batter should make about 4-5 waffles, depending on you waffle maker. Tear 2 of those waffles into fourths. If you are using a square waffles just leave them whole.

Step 4

Prep the sandwiches. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Once hot add the turkey and get it buttery and crisp all over, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat

Step 5

Add the avocado to a bowl and lightly mash with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 6

Assemble the sandwiches. Preheat the oven to 425 degree F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and place the waffles on the baking sheet.

Step 7

Spread the mashed avocado on four of the waffle triangles (or squares or whatever shape you have). Top with sliced brie, then the warm buttery turkey, a dollop of cranberry sauce and two slices of bacon (if using). Now grab the tops to the sandwiches (the remaining four triangles) and add a slice or two of brie. Place the pan in the oven for 5 minutes, watching closely to make sure the brie is not getting too melty! During this time I fried my eggs.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and top each triangle with one egg and then place the tops on the sandwiches. Push down and eat!! FYI, it is going to be a bit messy. We had to use a fork for these!
