Ingredients
  

  • 2 Belgian-style waffles
  • 1½ cups cooked beef brisket shredded
  • 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter

For the Bourbon-Maple Glaze:

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp bourbon
  • ½ tsp Dijon mustard
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan, simmer maple syrup, bourbon, mustard, garlic powder, and salt over low heat for 3–4 minutes. Set aside.
  • Heat the shredded brisket until warmed through.
  • Toast waffles until golden and crispy.
  • Place one waffle on a surface. Layer with 2 slices of cheese, brisket, a drizzle of glaze, 2 more slices of cheese, then the second waffle.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sandwich and press gently. Grill for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and melty.
  • Slice and serve hot, with extra glaze if desired.

Notes

Use leftover brisket for faster prep.
Swap cheddar with gouda or pepper jack for variety.
For alcohol-free glaze, omit bourbon or replace with apple cider.
