Instructions
-
Preheat the waffle maker
Plug in your mini waffle maker and allow it to fully heat. A preheated waffle maker ensures crisp, golden chaffles.
-
Mix the chaffle batter
In a small bowl, whisk the egg, then stir in the shredded mozzarella. Add a pinch of salt or seasonings if using. Mix until fully combined.
-
Cook the first chaffle
Spoon half the batter into the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden and crisp.
-
Repeat with remaining batter
Carefully remove the cooked chaffle and repeat with the remaining batter for the second chaffle.
-
Let the chaffles rest
Place cooked chaffles on a wire rack for 1–2 minutes. This helps them crisp up as steam escapes.

Note
Notes
Don’t Skip Preheating: A fully heated waffle maker is the key to crisp, golden chaffles. Adding batter too early leads to soft or uneven texture.
Let Them Rest: Allow cooked chaffles to sit on a wire rack for 1–2 minutes. This prevents steam from softening the edges and gives the best crunch.
Cheese Options: Mozzarella creates a neutral, bread-like chaffle. Cheddar gives a sharper flavor and crispier edges. Pepper jack adds a spicy twist.
For Firmer “Bread” Chaffles: Add 1 tablespoon of almond flour to the batter. This helps the chaffle hold up better for sandwiches or burgers.
Seasoning Ideas: Add garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or everything bagel seasoning for savory chaffles. Add cinnamon and sweetener for a dessert-style version.
Meal Prep Tip: Make multiple chaffles at once and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or air fryer for maximum crispiness.
Serve With:
- Eggs and bacon for a quick breakfast
- Keto chicken or tuna salad
- Burger patties as low-carb buns
- Strawberries and whipped cream (sweet chaffle version)
