Ingredients
2 large eggs
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
Salt & pepper, to taste
Optional Add-Ins:
1 tbsp almond flour (for extra structure)
1 tbsp cream cheese (for creaminess)
1 tbsp chopped chives or parsley
Crumbled cooked beef or chicken
Everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Waffle Maker
Turn on your waffle maker and let it heat up fully for best results.
Step 2: Make the Chaffle Batter
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until well combined.
Step 3: Cook the Chaffles
Lightly spray or oil your waffle maker.
Pour about half the mixture into the waffle iron (adjust depending on its size).
Close and cook for 3–5 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
Repeat with remaining batter.
Step 4: Cool Slightly & Serve
Let the chaffles cool for a minute on a rack for maximum crispness.
Serve hot as-is or use them as a base for toppings or sandwiches.
Notes
Use Pre-Shredded Cheese – It melts evenly and crisps well.
Drain Excess Moisture – If your cheese is very moist, blot with a paper towel.
Let Cool – This helps them crisp up on the outside.
Double the Batch – They freeze and reheat beautifully.
Spice It Up – Add chili flakes, cumin, or smoked paprika for a flavor boost.
