INGREDIENTS
• 4 Bel Gaufre maple waffles
• 4 1/4 inch thick slices of ham
For the ham
• 1 cup buttermilk (or clarified butter)
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp. dried basil
• 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
• 1 tsp. paprika
• 1/2 tsp. ground coriander
• 1 pinch ground cayenne
For the dressing
• 2 tbsp. maple syrup
• 2 tbsp. yellow mustard
• 4 tbsp. wine vinegar
• 1/2 cup olive oil
For the garnish
• 4 large quarters of iceberg lettuce
• Thin slices of red onion
PREPARATION
Place the ham in the buttermilk and let rest for 1 hour. Put the rest of the ingredients in a resealable bag and mix to create spiced breadcrumbs. Coat the ham with the breadcrumbs by pressing well to ensure the breading sticks. Place the ham in a pan and cook with a little oil for 2 minutes per side, turning gently. Reserve in an oven preheated to 325 °F with maple waffles for 10 minutes.
Whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing and set aside. Serve maple waffles topped with ham, a large quarter of iceberg lettuce and slices of red onion. Generously drizzle with vinaigrette.
