Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup almond flour
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Seasonings:
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat waffle iron to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s fully heated before cooking.
- Crack egg into a medium mixing bowl and whisk thoroughly until smooth and slightly frothy.
- Add shredded cheese, almond flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, and black pepper to the whisked egg.
- Mix all ingredients vigorously with a fork or whisk until a uniform, slightly thick batter forms without any dry lumps.
- Lightly coat waffle iron griddles with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the preheated waffle iron, spreading it gently to cover the surface.
- Close waffle iron and cook for 3-4 minutes or until edges turn golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove chaffle using a silicone spatula, placing it on a wire rack to maintain crispness.
- Repeat process with remaining batter, ensuring waffle iron remains consistently heated between batches.
- Serve immediately while warm and crisp, optionally topping with additional cheese or preferred garnishes.
Notes
- Cheese Selection Matters: Choose high-moisture cheeses like mozzarella or cheddar for better binding and crispy texture.
- Batter Consistency is Key: Aim for a smooth, lump-free mixture that spreads easily in the waffle iron without being too runny.
- Low-Carb Friendly: Perfect for keto and low-carb diets, replace almond flour with coconut flour for alternative nutritional profiles.
- Customization Potential: Experiment with herbs, spices, or additional ingredients like bacon bits to create savory variations.
