Ingredients
1 large egg
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
1 tablespoon almond flour (optional, for added texture)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra flavor)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg, shredded cheese, almond flour (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Grease the waffle maker with a light coat of cooking spray or oil.
- Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the waffle maker, spreading it evenly.
- Close the waffle maker and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove the chaffle from the waffle maker and serve immediately.
Notes
- Storage: Store leftover chaffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Reheat in the toaster or waffle maker for a crispy texture. You can also microwave it, but it may lose some of its crispiness.
- Variations: Add diced vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for extra nutrition. You can also incorporate cooked bacon or sausage for a heartier meal.
- For a sweeter version, replace garlic powder with cinnamon and sweeten with stevia or erythritol.
