Top Tots: tater tot, prosciutto, and blue cheese pie iron waffle

There’s no waffling about it: This tater tot waffle with prosciutto and blue cheese tops our list of all-time favorite pudgie pies.  With just three ingredients, it packs a wallop of flavor and texture.

Crispy tater tots, salty prosciutto, and tangy blue cheese all converge in a perfectly pressed waffle pudgie pie.  If you haven’t added the Rome waffle iron to your collection, we highly recommend that you do.

To start, spray the iron with high-heat cooking spray.  Cut ten tots in half lengthwise, and place them cut-side up in one side of the iron.  They nestle perfectly amongst the bumps of the waffle iron–like it was made to cradle tater tots.  Top the tots with sliced prosciutto and crumbled blue cheese and then carefully arrange twenty more tater tot halves above.  Squeeze that iron shut and cook over hot coals until crispy and golden!

Serve with a dollop of sour cream and you’ve got a top-notch tater tot treat.

Ingredients 

• 4-5 fat slices of french bread, preferably a day or two old
• 1 1/2 cups eggnog
• 1 cup milk
• 3 large eggs
• 2 egg yolks
• 1/3 cup sugar
• cinnamon and nutmeg
• bourbon, brandy, vanilla extract, or the like

Directions

Butter your bread on one side and slice into cubes, placing cubes in an appropriately sized bowl or dish. Combine eggs, yolks, sugar, and a pinch of salt in a medium dish and beat vigorously until bubbly.  Whisk in eggnog and milk (preferably warm), along with a healthy splash of the spirits of your choosing.  Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.  Pour egg mixture over bread cubes and set aside for and hour or two, or overnight. Relax and enjoy some down time.  You deserve it!

Once your bread cubes are thoroughly sodden, prep your pie iron by spraying generously with cooking spray.  Pile bread mixture into pie iron and cook over a medium flame for 5-7 minutes per side.  This pudgie will ooze, so don’t be alarmed.  You know it’s coming along once it starts hissing at you.  That’s a good sign!  When both sides are toasty golden brown and the inside is firm, turn pudgie out onto a plate and dust with powdered sugar.  Let cool for a few minutes before drizzling with real maple syrup and devouring joyously.  Happy holidays!
