Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (60g) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup (60g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons (14g) almond flour
  • ¼ teaspoon (1g) baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon (1.5g) salt
  • Pinch of ground black pepper (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon (14g) butter, melted
  • 2–3 slices of your favorite melting cheese for filling (provolone, gouda, cheddar)
  • Optional add-ins: thin slices of cooked bacon, avocado slices, fresh herbs like basil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your mini waffle maker for 3-5 minutes until hot.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs until lightly frothy.
  3. Add ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar and ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese; stir gently to combine.
  4. Mix in 2 tablespoons almond flour, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper until batter is thick but pourable.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon melted butter.
  6. Lightly grease waffle maker plates with butter or non-stick spray.
  7. Pour about ¼ cup (60 ml) of batter into each waffle section, spreading slightly without overflowing.
  8. Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  9. Carefully remove the chaffle and place on a plate.
  10. While still warm, layer your favorite melting cheese slices and any optional add-ins between two chaffles to form a sandwich.
  11. Return the sandwich to the waffle maker or a hot skillet for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese and fuse the sandwich.
  12. Remove, let cool for a minute, and serve immediately.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and fluffier chaffles. Preheat the waffle maker well to avoid soggy chaffles. Do not open the waffle maker too early to prevent tearing. You can make chaffles ahead and reheat in a toaster or skillet to restore crispiness. Experiment with cheese blends and fillings to customize your sandwich.
