What is a Chaffle?
A chaffle is a “cheese waffle” – it’s a great substitute for bread in any keto sandwich! Chaffles are incredibly versatile and delicious. All you need to make them is a Mini Waffle Maker! You can use chaffles instead of bread, like on this Keto Turkey Club Sandwich, Chicken Bacon Ranch Chaffle, or this Jalapeno Popper Burger. You can also make them for breakfast, like these Bacon Cheddar Chaffles, Sausage Jalapeno Chaffles, or a Breakfast Chaffle Bowl.

Tips for the Best Tuna Melt
- If you aren’t a huge fan of tuna, try this Keto Chicken Salad instead!
- I really enjoyed the flavor of the Garlic Bread Chaffles, but if you want a taste that is more similar to traditional bread, try a Classic Keto Chaffle.
- You can add a second chaffle to this sandwich, or you can leave it as an open-faced sandwich. Whatever you prefer.
- If you don’t like provolone, try cheddar, swiss, or mozzarella!
