🛒 Ingredients

1 large egg
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Optional add-ins (highly recommended):

Pinch of garlic powder (savory version)
Pinch of sweetener + vanilla extract (sweet version)
1 tbsp almond flour (for a more bread-like texture)

🔧 Equipment You’ll Need

Mini waffle maker (Dash works great)
Small mixing bowl
Fork or whisk
Non-stick spray (optional but helpful)

👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Waffle Maker

Plug in your waffle maker and let it heat up completely. A hot surface ensures crispy edges.

Step 2: Mix the Batter

In a small bowl:

Crack the egg
Add shredded mozzarella

Mix well until fully combined. The mixture will look cheesy and slightly runny—this is normal.

Step 3: Add Flavor (Optional)

Customize your chaffle:

For savory: add garlic powder, salt, or herbs
For sweet: add a keto-friendly sweetener and vanilla

Step 4: Cook the Chaffle

Lightly grease the waffle maker if needed
Pour half the batter into the center
Close the lid and cook for 3–5 minutes

Avoid opening too early—this helps it crisp up properly.

Step 5: Remove & Crisp

Once golden brown:

Carefully remove the chaffle
Let it sit for 1–2 minutes to firm up

Repeat with remaining batter.
