Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup additional mozzarella cheese (for topping)
- Pepperoni slices (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle maker to medium-high heat. If your waffle maker has adjustable temperature settings, aim for around 375-400°F.
- In a medium mixing bowl, crack the two large eggs and whisk them thoroughly until well combined.
- Add 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup almond flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning to the whisked eggs. Mix all ingredients until a consistent batter forms.
- Lightly spray the waffle maker plates with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour half the batter into the center of the waffle maker, ensuring even distribution. Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes until the chaffle is golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove the first chaffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter to create the second chaffle base.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of pizza sauce evenly over each chaffle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the additional 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce.
- If desired, add pepperoni slices on top of the cheese.
- Return the chaffles to the waffle maker or place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese and crisp the edges.
- Remove from heat, let cool for 1-2 minutes, then slice and serve immediately.
Tips
- Waffle Maker Temperature is Key: Ensure your waffle maker is preheated to medium-high heat (375-400°F) for the perfect crispy chaffle base.
- Prevent Sticking: Always use non-stick cooking spray to guarantee easy removal and a clean waffle maker.
- Batter Consistency Matters: Whisk ingredients thoroughly to create a smooth, well-combined batter that will result in a uniform chaffle.
- Cheese Distribution: Spread cheese and toppings evenly to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
- Crisp Factor: For extra crispiness, consider broiling your chaffles for 1-2 minutes after adding toppings.
- Serve Immediately: Chaffles are best enjoyed hot and fresh, so time your preparation to serve right away.
- Topping Variations: Get creative with low-carb toppings like olives, bell peppers, or cooked sausage to customize your chaffle pizza.
