2. Add Fillings
- Spread 2 tbsp cream cheese filling on one half of each rectangle.

3. Fold & Seal
- Fold the empty half over the filling and crimp edges with a fork to seal.
4. Waffle It!

Pro Tips for the Perfect Croffle
Don’t overstuff – Too much filling causes leaks.
Seal edges tightly – Prevents oozing during cooking.
For extra crispiness: Brush dough with melted butter before waffling.
Make ahead: Assemble (unbaked) and refrigerate for 24 hours.
