Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature. Crumble the pre-cooked bacon into small pieces.
- Preheat a non-stick waffle maker. If your waffle maker has temperature settings, set it to medium-high heat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well beaten and slightly frothy.
- Add the shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the whisked eggs. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Lightly grease the waffle maker plates with cooking spray or brush with melted butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour half the mixture into the center of the waffle maker, ensuring it spreads evenly but does not overflow.
- Close the waffle maker and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Carefully remove the chaffle using a silicone spatula or tongs. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Let the chaffles cool for 1-2 minutes to crisp up, then serve immediately.
- Optional: Serve with additional toppings like sour cream, chives, or a side of sugar-free dipping sauce.
Tips
- Temperature is key: Ensure your waffle maker is preheated to medium-high heat for the perfect golden-brown exterior.
- Cheese matters: Use freshly shredded cheese instead of pre-packaged for better melting and texture.
- Don't overfill: Pour batter carefully to prevent overflow and ensure even cooking.
- Let them crisp: Allow chaffles to rest for 1-2 minutes after cooking to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Get creative with toppings: Experiment with sugar-free sauces, herbs, or additional keto-friendly garnishes.
- Make ahead: These chaffles can be stored in the refrigerator and quickly reheated in a toaster for a quick meal.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and more consistent results.
