4-Ingredient Savory Croffle Sandwich

Author: Jessica Haggard
Crescent roll dough pressed into a waffle iron makes a crispy, buttery croffle in just a few minutes. Fill it with pesto, smoked turkey, and melted mozzarella, and you have a savory croffle sandwich that looks like it came from a café but comes together easily at home.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 can Pillsbury crescent rolls
  • 4 tablespoons pesto
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 12 slices smoked turkey

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the waffle iron to medium heat and grease it lightly with cooking spray or butter so nothing sticks.
  • Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Give each one a gentle press or quick roll to flatten it slightly, then fold or roll it into a compact little dough ball. It does not need to be perfect.
    A raw crescent roll is placed on the center of an open, preheated waffle maker on a marble countertop.
  • Place each dough piece into the waffle iron and close the lid. Cook in batches if needed. Close the lid and cook 3 to 4 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Set them aside to cool slightly.

  • Now for the fun part. Take two croffles per sandwich, one for the bottom and one for the top. Spread a tablespoon of pesto on the bottom croffle, then layer on the mozzarella and 3 slices of smoked turkey.

  • Set the second croffle on top and return the whole sandwich to the waffle iron. Press the lid down gently and let it heat for a 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the outside is warm, golden, and crisp.

Notes

Wait until the dough is deep and golden brown before pulling it, or the inside might stay doughy.
If you're making a big batch, stack the croffle "bread" on a wire rack instead of a plate so they stay nice and crisp while you prep them all.
Serve: Perfect for lunch. For a bigger spread, add a side of soup, salad, or fresh fruit.
Store: You can prep the croffles ahead and reheat them, but the assembled sandwiches are best served fresh. Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
