Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 large egg
Cheese:
- ½ cup (120 ml) shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
Flour:
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) almond flour
Instructions
- Activate the mini waffle maker and apply a thin coating of non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
- Crack an egg into a mixing bowl and vigorously whisk until smooth and uniform in texture.
- Incorporate shredded cheese and almond flour into the whisked egg, gently folding until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Carefully transfer half of the prepared mixture into the preheated waffle maker’s cooking surface.
- Securely close the waffle maker and allow the chaffle to cook for 3-4 minutes, monitoring its color transformation to a rich golden brown.
- Delicately extract the first chaffle using a heat-resistant utensil, ensuring its crisp texture remains intact.
- Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter to create a second chaffle.
- Once both chaffles have cooled slightly, transform them into a sandwich canvas by layering preferred proteins, vegetables, spreads, or condiments between the two crispy rounds.
- Slice diagonally if desired, and serve immediately to enjoy maximum crispness and flavor.
Notes
- Customize the cheese type to match your flavor preference, from sharp cheddar to mild mozzarella for different taste profiles.
- Add herbs like dried basil or oregano to the batter for an extra flavor boost and aromatic complexity.
- Ensure the waffle maker is evenly heated to create crispy, golden-brown chaffles with consistent texture.
- For a gluten-free and low-carb option, stick to almond flour
