Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Chaffles:
2 large eggs
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheddar for a sharper taste)
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of butter for greasing

Optional Add-ins:
2 tbsp chopped green onions
1 tbsp finely diced bell peppers
¼ tsp paprika or Italian seasoning
1 tbsp grated Parmesan for extra crisp

Tools You’ll Need
Mini waffle maker (or regular waffle maker)
Mixing bowl
Fork or whisk
Measuring spoons
Spatula

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Waffle Maker
Plug in your mini waffle maker and let it heat up fully. Lightly grease with non-stick spray or a dab of butter to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them with a fork or whisk.
Add shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
Add optional ingredients like green onions or peppers if using.

Step 3: Cook the Chaffle
Pour half the mixture into the center of the waffle maker (do not overfill).
Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes until the chaffle is golden and crispy.
Carefully remove with a spatula and let it rest on a wire rack to maintain crispness.
Repeat with the remaining batter.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Serve warm with your favorite toppings or sides.
For breakfast, add avocado slices or a fried egg on top.
For lunch, use as sandwich bread with grilled chicken or fresh veggies.

Tips for the Best Chaffle
Use Pre-Shredded Cheese – It helps hold the batter together and crisps up nicely.
Let Them Cool – Cooling for a minute helps the chaffles firm up and crisp.
Don’t Overload with Veggies – Stick to small amounts to keep the texture right.
Experiment with Cheese Types – Try Colby Jack, Swiss, or even a mix for new flavors.

Serving Suggestions
Keto Breakfast Sandwich – Layer with bacon (or beef alternative), egg, and avocado.
Low-Carb Burger – Use as buns for a juicy grilled burger.
Snack Plate – Pair with a side of pickles, nuts, or a light salad.
Dip It – Great with salsa, guacamole, or a creamy herb dip.
