My family thought I was weird for posting that last version (until they tasted it, of course).  This time around they were much more receptive to my griddle cake creation.  Think: Ham and Swiss Cheese sandwich with sweet maple glaze.  That’s what this recipe is all about.

Tiny ham chunks and shredded Swiss are mixed into the griddle cake batter.

I topped it all off with a little more ham and cheese…

…before dousing it all with warm maple syrup.

And then, we ate it.  And we actually DID eat it for breakfast, but it’s nice as a Breakfast-for-Dinner option too.  Feedback from my family:  My husband, “It’s different.  It’s good!”  My kiddo:  “It’s cool.  I can taste the cayenne pepper so be sure to let parents know not to put in too much of that.”  Me: “More Swiss cheese please!  Yum!” More Ham and Swiss themed recipes on these fabulous food blogs: Hot and Melty Oven- Baked Swiss Sandwiches by Buns in My Oven Ham, Swiss, Avocado and Spinach Panini by Sarah’s Cucina Bella Ham and Cheese Puff Pastry Pie by Joy the Baker  Ham and Asparagus Quiche by Weelicious  Hot Ham and Cheese Rosemary Bread by Food For My Family
