Breakfast Anytime Recipes

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the chutney mayonnaise: Combine the ingredients (salt and pepper to taste) in a small bowl. Cover and keep at room temperature while you prepare the waffles.

For the sandwich fillings: Have them ready near the work surface where you will assemble the sandwiches.

For the waffles: Preheat the waffle iron, and preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Place a baking sheet on the middle oven rack.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and curry powder. Set aside.

In a separate medium bowl, combine the buttermilk, chicken stock and egg, stirring to mix well. Add the mixture to the dry ingredients bowl, mixing well. Add the raisins or currants, nuts and melted butter, stirring just to combine.

Lightly grease the hot waffle iron grids with nonstick spray oil, if necessary.

Pour 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the batter evenly on the heated grids, using a heatproof spatula to even out the batter. Close the lid and bake for 4 to 5 minutes (depending on the make of your waffle iron), or until the waffle is light brown and lightly crisped. Transfer to the baking sheet in the oven as you continue to make more waffles.

To assemble: Working with 2 waffles at a time, build each sandwich by placing a lettuce leaf on the waffle, then spread the lettuce with some of the chutney mayonnaise. Layer 2 tomato slices across the mayonnaise, 2 slices of the turkey breast, and 2 pieces of bacon strips and spread more chutney mayonnaise on them. Layer with another lettuce leaf and top with the second waffle. To serve, spear with toothpicks, cut in half and serve immediately.
