The Chaffle is all the rage right now. But first things first...you need to go buy a MINI waffle maker...of course you can use your regular 20 year old beat up one you already have...but it just ain't the same...you will not have cute little circles that are fun to eat...these are more like a craft project than a meal. A very low carb meal, that is. In fact, the entire recipe is only 240 calories, 1g carbs, zero fiber, 1g net carbs, 23g protein and 15g fat. I enjoyed mine with a mashed up Avocado mixed with Lime and Salt. But you can use these in place of bread for a sandwich, make a pizza out of them, or fold in half and make a taco, etc. You are only limited by your imagination...and what kind of waffle maker you have! Happy pressing! :)
Ingredients for one serving~
1 Extra Large Egg
1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella (sub with favorite Cheese)
Dash Salt
Dash Pepper
Dash Garlic or Garlic Blend
Optional additional Seasoning as desired
Beat Egg with fork, blend in rest of ingredients, pour half of batter on cooking spray coated hot MINI waffle maker and cook approximately 4 minutes. I sprinkled a little bit of extra Cheese right on bottom of waffle maker, then half the batter then a little bit more Cheese for extra crispiness. Repeat with remaining batter. Enjoy :)
I used the waffle iron I bought for my granddaughter - it's Disney princess and castle - and made these to use as hot dog "buns". I did add about 1 T almond flour just to have a more bread-like texture. It made two and they were pretty good.
