Ingredients
Scale
Chaffles
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Optional Toppings
- Sliced deli meat
- Cream cheese
- Avocado slices
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle maker: Turn on your waffle maker and allow it to fully heat up for optimal crispness.
- Mix the batter: In a small bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly. Add shredded mozzarella cheese, almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder if using, and a pinch of salt. Stir until all ingredients are well combined into a smooth batter.
- Cook the chaffles: Lightly grease the waffle maker if necessary to prevent sticking. Pour a portion of the batter into the center of the waffle maker. Close and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the chaffles turn golden brown and become crisp.
- Repeat cooking: Remove the cooked chaffle carefully and set aside on a wire rack. Continue cooking the remaining batter in batches following the same steps to ensure each chaffle is evenly cooked and crispy.
- Cool completely: Allow the chaffles to cool fully on a wire rack before storing. Cooling ensures the chaffles maintain their crisp texture when refrigerated.
- Serve cold: Store the cooled chaffles in the refrigerator. Serve them straight from the fridge cold, topped with your preferred cold ingredients such as deli meat, avocado slices, or cream cheese for a quick and tasty meal or snack.
Notes
- Chaffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making them ideal for meal prep and quick snacks.
- For extra crispness, toast the chaffles briefly before serving, even when eating them cold.
- Garlic powder is optional but adds a nice subtle flavor.
- Feel free to customize toppings based on personal preference for varied flavor combinations.
