Introduction to Chaffles
A chaffle is a “cheese waffle,” or a waffle made using cheese. It’s a delicious, low-carb creation that is quick and easy to cook. It only requires a few ingredients. In fact, a chaffle can technically be made with only cheese and eggs. In our opinion, the perfect texture and flavor does require a couple more ingredients. With a base of cheese and eggs, this is a great low-carb or keto food option.
How to Make a Chaffle
The chaffle ingredients are mixed to create a batter. Then you pour the mix into a hot waffle iron. It only takes a few minutes to cook and can be frozen for later, which makes it ideal for meal prepping. A mini waffle maker is perfect for making sandwich bread, burger buns, and more!
