Everything But the Kitchen Sink Waffles

This recipe encapsulates how I found serenity in my depleting kitchen during the COVID-19 mayhem. I hope this recipe inspires you to utilise any leftover ingredients you manage to forage in your pantry and fridge. By Melissa Koh.

In a waffle maker or sandwich press,

1) Place a slice of spam or any protein you have available. 2) Fill the remaining space with leftover garlic bread (or any bread, really). 3) Ensure all ingredients are compact before putting the heating element down, applying enough pressure to slightly flatten the ingredients.

To make the cheese sauce,

1) Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a non stick deep pan over medium heat. 2) Add 2 tablespoons of flour, and whisk to form a thick paste. 3) Add 1 1/2 cups of milk gradually, whisking constantly till it reaches a boil. 4) After a minute of bubbling, remove from heat and add 1 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, stirring to combine.

Microwave cherry tomatoes with: 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, pinch of mixed herbs, pinch of salt and pepper.
