Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup diced ham
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and equipment, including a waffle maker, mixing bowl, whisk, and measuring cups/spoons.
- In a medium mixing bowl, crack the two large eggs and whisk them until well beaten and slightly frothy.
- Add the shredded cheese to the whisked eggs, stirring to combine thoroughly.
- Mix in the diced ham, garlic powder, and black pepper, ensuring all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Preheat your waffle maker to medium-high heat and lightly spray or brush with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
- Pour half the mixture into the center of the waffle maker, spreading it evenly to cover the surface.
- Close the waffle maker and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the chaffle is golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Carefully remove the chaffle using a silicone spatula and repeat the process with the remaining mixture.
- Let the chaffles cool for 1-2 minutes before serving to allow them to firm up slightly.
- Optional: Serve immediately with a side of mustard, mayo, or your preferred dipping sauce.
Tips
- Ensure your waffle maker is preheated and lightly greased to prevent sticking and achieve those perfect crispy edges.
- Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melting consistency - pre-shredded cheese can contain anti-caking agents that affect texture.
- Don't overfill the waffle maker; start with a smaller amount of batter and adjust for future batches.
- Let the chaffles rest for 1-2 minutes after cooking to help them firm up and become less fragile.
- Experiment with different cheese varieties like cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack for unique flavor profiles.
- If you want extra crispiness, you can briefly toast the finished chaffle in a dry skillet for 30-60 seconds on each side.
- Store any leftover chaffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat in a toaster or skillet for best results.
