4.5 from 139 reviews

A quick and easy low-carb grilled cheese chaffle recipe combining crispy waffles made from eggs and cheese with gooey melted cheese for a deliciously satisfying sandwich alternative.

Ingredients

Scale

Chaffle Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)

For Filling

  • Additional shredded cheese for melting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and shredded cheese until fully combined to create the chaffle batter.
  2. Cook the chaffle: Preheat a waffle maker and lightly grease it. Pour half of the batter into the waffle maker, closing the lid and cooking for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with the remaining batter to make two chaffles.
  3. Assemble the grilled cheese: Place one chaffle on a plate, add a layer of shredded cheese on top while it’s still warm so it starts melting.
  4. Top and melt: Place the second chaffle on top of the cheese. Optionally, put the assembled chaffle sandwich back into the waffle maker or a hot pan for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese thoroughly and create a warm grilled cheese effect.
  5. Serve: Remove from the heat and serve immediately while the cheese is melted and the chaffle is crispy.

Notes

  • Use full-fat shredded cheese for best melting and flavor.
  • Use a non-stick waffle maker to prevent sticking.
  • For added flavor, incorporate herbs or spices like garlic powder or Italian seasoning into the batter.
  • Can be customized with different cheeses such as cheddar, mozzarella, or pepper jack.
  • Keep an eye on the waffle maker to avoid burning since cooking times vary.
