This chaffle recipe – cheese + waffle – is the latest for everyone who loves the keto craze! This easy, cheesy, low-carb meal will satisfy your hunger, and all you need is mozzarella cheese and a few eggs!

Chaffle Ingredients

This recipe, featuring shredded mozzarella and eggs as its key ingredients, delivers a savory and delicious experience.

The mozzarella contributes a creamy, tangy richness while forming a crispy outer layer, and the eggs bind everything together with a subtle, eggy flavor.

Substitutions And Additions

MOZZARELLA CHEESE: If you prefer a different shredded cheese, consider using provolone, pepper jack, cheddar cheese, or even a combination of cheeses.

Each cheese will bring its unique taste to this easy chaffle recipe, adding a different dimension to the flavor profile.

Keep in mind that the texture and melting properties may vary slightly with different cheeses.

SPICES: Experiment with various spices to customize the chaffle’s flavor.

For a Mexican twist, add a pinch of chili powder and cumin.

If you enjoy Mediterranean flavors, try a combination of oregano, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper flakes.

Adjust the spice level to your preference, but remember that a little goes a long way, so start with a small amount and taste as you go.

JALAPEÑOS: If you enjoy some heat, finely diced jalapeños can bring a spicy kick to your chaffle.

Add as much or as little as you like, adjusting the spiciness to your preference. Be cautious not to make it too spicy if you’re sensitive to heat.

ONIONS: If you enjoy the sweet and savory flavor of caramelized onions, sauté them until golden brown and add them to the chaffle batter.

Caramelized onions can lend a wonderful depth of flavor to your chaffle.

Storage

Chaffles are quite versatile when it comes to storage options

MAKE AHEAD: If you want to get a head start on your meal prep, you can make the chaffle batter ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the fridge.

When you’re ready to cook, simply give the batter a quick stir and pour it into your waffle maker.

This can save you some time on busy mornings or when you need a quick snack.

IN THE FRIDGE: Store leftovers in the refrigerator in a sealed food storage container for one to two days.

IN THE FREEZER: Store leftover keto waffle in a freezer bag (two per bag) with a piece of parchment paper separating each one.

REHEATING: To reheat chaffles, you have a few options:

• TOASTER OR OVEN: This method is great for restoring crispiness. Just toast the chaffles until they’re heated through and reach your desired level of crispiness.
• MICROWAVE: While not the best for maintaining crispiness, the microwave works if you’re in a hurry. Heat them in 20 to 30-second intervals, checking until they’re warm throughout.
• AIR FRYER: If you have one, the air fryer is an excellent choice. It can quickly reheat chaffles, making them crispy on the outside and warm on the inside.
