Cheddar Herb Chaffles

This dish consists of batter made from eggs, cheese, and almond flour cooked in a waffle maker to create crispy outside and tender inside waffles. The chaffles are baked until golden brown, with the cheese melted and the surface crisped, resulting in a savory, waffle-like appearance with a slightly chewy texture.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pieces large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • 0.75 cup almond flour unsweetened
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped herbs parsley or chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Waffle Maker
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. Place the shredded cheddar, almond flour, baking powder, chopped herbs, and salt into a mixing bowl. Stir together until evenly combined.
    2 pieces large eggs, 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, 0.75 cup almond flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon fresh chopped herbs, 1/4 teaspoon salt
  2. Add the beaten eggs to the dry mixture and stir until a smooth batter forms. Observe the mixture thickening and becoming cohesive.
    2 pieces large eggs, 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, 0.75 cup almond flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 tablespoon fresh chopped herbs, 1/4 teaspoon salt
  3. Preheat the waffle maker and lightly grease it with non-stick spray or a brush of oil, ensuring the surface is evenly coated. The waffle maker's indicator light should turn on, and the plates should be hot.
  4. Pour half of the batter onto the center of the hot waffle maker, spreading gently with a spatula to fill the mold evenly. Close the lid and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes, until the waffle is golden brown and crispy, with steam visibly escaping and a pleasant aroma.
  5. Carefully open the waffle maker once the indicator signals doneness or when the waffle releases easily from the plates. Remove the crispy waffle with tongs or a fork and place on a wire rack to cool slightly. Repeat with remaining batter.

Notes

Serve hot with additional toppings if desired. Best enjoyed fresh for maximum crispness.
