Chaffle= Cheese Waffle. Heads-up: You’ll need a waffle iron. It only takes a few minutes to mix up a chaffle recipe with just two ingredients for the basic recipe: eggs and cheese. This can be customized with a variety of options: I add parmesan and use them in place of bread for Pork Belly Sandwiches and hamburgers. I also make rueben sandwiches using swiss and ground caraway for the chaffle. They also make a very nice sandwich, hamburger bun, and pizza chaffle (adding 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning to the batter).
Chaffles are really becoming a thing with keto lifestylers. They’re way easier to make than most keto bread recipes and they’re very easy to customize. You can turn a basic recipe into your own delicious creation; savory to sweet and all between. You can also change the kind of cheese you use, changing the flavor and texture greatly. Cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese are the two most common choices, but you can also add in parmesan, cream cheese, or any other cheese that melts well.
The cook time is about four minutes, and if you cook it properly, you end up with a crispy, cheesy, delicious waffle that can be used in a wide variety of applications.
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 8oz mozzarella
- 1/4 c parmesan
- 1/2 C super fine almond flour
Instructions:
- The above recipe makes 8 chaffles.
- Heat the mini waffle iron.
- While the waffle iron is heating, mix the ingredients in a bowl until combined.
- Spoon out 1/4 C mix into the waffle maker and cook for about 4 minutes, or until waffles are desired crispness.
- Carefully remove from waffle maker.
There are a couple things you’ll want to know to make your chaffles crispy.
- First , don’t eat your chaffles right out of the waffle iron. They’ll be soggy at first, but if you let them sit for 3-4 minutes, they’ll crisp up.
- If you plan on making chaffles ahead of time and reheating them, you may want to employ an air fryer. It can be difficult to get chaffles crispy again once they’ve been in a fridge or freezer. An air fryer will dehydrate them and crisp them back up in just a few minutes.
- You can reheat chaffles by heating them in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes a side, or you can put them in a 300-degree Fahrenheit oven for 3-4 minutes, or until heated.
