Cheesy Keto Chaffles

The mixture is poured into a waffle maker and cooked using direct heat, resulting in a bite-sized, savory, and slightly chewy final texture with appealing browning.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella works well
  • 1 tablespoon almond flour optional for added structure
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Equipment

  • Waffle Maker
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients and preheat the waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions. In a mixing bowl, combine the beaten eggs, shredded cheese, almond flour (if using), salt, and baking powder. Mix thoroughly until a homogeneous batter forms.
    2 large eggs, 1/2 cup shredded cheese, 1 tablespoon almond flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  2. Lightly spray or brush the waffle maker with non-stick spray. Pour half of the batter into the center of the hot waffle iron, spreading it slightly to cover the surface evenly.
  3. Close the waffle iron and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy. Listen for a sizzle or clicking sound indicating doneness, and observe the color change to a deep golden hue.
  4. Carefully open the waffle maker using a non-metallic spatula or tongs. Gently lift the cooked chaffle to check for crispness and golden color. Repeat with remaining batter if necessary.
  5. Transfer the finished chaffles to a plate and let cool for a minute. Serve while warm, displaying a crispy exterior with a soft, tender center and melted cheese visible at the edges.
