Ingredients
Egg Mixture:
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (any variety of your choice)
- 1/4 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker. This step ensures that the chaffle cooks evenly with a crispy outside and tender inside.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: Crack the egg into a bowl and whisk vigorously until frothy. This introduces air into the egg, making the chaffle light and fluffy. Add the shredded cheese, garlic powder (if using), and season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients.
- Cook the Chaffle: Lightly grease your waffle maker with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking. Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the preheated waffle maker, spreading it out evenly. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Carefully remove the chaffle from the waffle maker. Enjoy it warm—crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy on the inside!
Notes
- Savory Chaffle: Add herbs like oregano, basil, or thyme for extra flavor. You can also mix in cooked beef or sausage.
- Spicy Chaffle: Stir in chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce for some heat.
- Sweet Chaffle: Add a pinch of cinnamon and a low-carb sweetener (like stevia or monk fruit) for a sweet treat. Top with berries or whipped cream for a dessert.
