Ingredients
Scale
Chaffle Base
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Optional Additions
- Herbs and spices of your choice (e.g., chives, parsley, garlic powder, pepper)
Instructions
- Preheat the cooking device: Preheat your waffle maker or air fryer to 375°F to ensure it is hot enough to crisp the chaffle.
- Mix ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the large egg and shredded cheddar cheese until the mixture is fully combined and uniform.
- Prepare the mold: Lightly grease the waffle maker or air fryer mold with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking and to promote even browning.
- Cook the chaffle: Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the prepared mold and cook for 4-6 minutes until the exterior is golden brown and crispy to the touch.
- Serve warm: Gently remove the chaffle from the mold and serve immediately. Optionally, top with fresh herbs, sliced avocado, or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can customize your chaffle by adding herbs and spices like garlic powder, paprika, or fresh parsley.
- For extra crispiness, cook a little longer but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Chaffles are best eaten fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated in a toaster or air fryer.
- Using a non-stick spray or brushing the mold with oil helps in easy removal.
