Turkey Ham and Swiss Croissant Waffle

1. Preheat a waffle iron to medium high. 
2. Build the croissant filling by shingling the turkey ham evenly across the bottom layer of the croissant, making sure to prevent meat overhang. 
3. Cut the slice of Swiss cheese into 4 equal squares and shingle the cheese evenly on top of the meat.
4. Place the top of the croissant on the cheese to make a sandwich. 
5. Place the croissant sandwich in the waffle iron and, before closing it, gently press down on the sandwich to compact it. This creates a better presentation. 
6. Close the waffle iron and cook the croissant for 1-2 minutes until the press has created the signature waffle design and the cheese has completely melted inside. 
7. Remove from the press carefully with a spatula or tongs and plate as desired, whole or cut in halves. Serve immediately.
