Chaffle Breakfast Sandwich

How cute is this Keto Chaffle Breakfast Sandwich? If you are new to the chaffle craze, you're going to love how easy, convenient and versatile they are. Chaffles aka cheese waffles are the latest trend.

This mini waffle is made with just two ingredients, egg and shredded cheese. If you wand a more bread-like texture of your chaffles, mix in ¹/₄ cup (25 g/ 0.9 oz) almond flour or 1 tbsp (8 g/ 0.3 oz) coconut flour if you are nut-free into the eggs. There are two ways to add the cheese. You can mix it directly with the eggs or add it to the waffle iron to crisp up before pouring in the eggs.

We’re using a 4-inch (10 cm) Dash Mini Waffle Iron that you can pick up practically anywhere that sells kitchen appliances from around $15, you can’t beat that! If you don't have a mini waffle iron you can use a regular waffle iron and make one large waffle instead. When using as a sandwich, simply cut in half.

The waffle base makes perfect sandwiches so feel free to let your imagination run wild with these. For today we're doing a breakfast style sandwich with egg, bacon, tomato, and cheese.

Step-by-step

1. Preheat a mini waffle iron. In a small bowl whisk one of the eggs. Optionally, add the almond flour and combine well. If you're using just egg the dough will be quite runny.

2. Sprinkle a quarter of the shredded mozzarella (about ¹/₂ oz/ 14 g) in the waffle iron, top with half of the whisked egg. Or you can directly whisk the eggs with the mozzarella.

   

3. Sprinkle with another quarter of mozzarella (about ¹/₂ oz/ 14 g) and close the iron. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the waffle easily releases. Repeat for the second waffle.

   

4. In a small pan, cook the bacon slices and then in the same pan scramble the remaining egg.

   

5. Top one waffle with the sliced cheese, tomato, bacon, and egg. Top it off with the other waffle and serve.
