Chaffle Batter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheddar for extra flavor)
Filling
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1 cup of shredded cheese until well combined to form the chaffle batter.
- Preheat the waffle maker: Heat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions until fully hot.
- Cook the first chaffle layer: Pour half of the egg-cheese mixture onto the waffle maker surface and close the lid. Cook for about 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Add cheese filling: Carefully open the waffle maker and sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the cooked chaffle base.
- Cook the second chaffle layer: Pour the remaining egg-cheese mixture over the cheese filling, close the lid, and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the top layer is golden and the filling is melted.
- Remove and serve: Gently remove the grilled cheese chaffle from the waffle maker using a spatula. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use a non-stick waffle maker or lightly grease the plates to prevent sticking.
- Feel free to add herbs or spices like garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
- Swap mozzarella for cheddar or any cheese of choice for variation.
- Serve with keto-friendly dipping sauces such as sugar-free ketchup or mustard.
