🛒 Ingredients

Basic Savory Chaffle Batter:

1 large egg
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon almond flour (optional, for structure)
¼ teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Optional Add-Ins (for extra flavor):

1 tablespoon cream cheese (for softer texture)
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
Chopped herbs (parsley, chives)
Crumbled cooked bacon

🔪 Equipment

Mini waffle maker (Dash works great)
Small mixing bowl
Fork or whisk
Spatula

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Waffle Maker

Plug in your waffle maker and let it fully heat up. This is key for getting that crispy golden exterior.

Step 2: Mix the Batter

In a small bowl, whisk the egg until fully beaten.
Add the shredded mozzarella, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder.

Mix until everything is well combined. The batter will be thick and slightly lumpy—that’s exactly what you want.

Step 3: Cook the Chaffle

Lightly grease the waffle maker if needed.

Spoon half of the batter onto the center of the waffle maker and gently spread it out. Close the lid and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Avoid opening too early, or the chaffle may split.

Step 4: Cool & Crisp

Carefully remove the chaffle and let it cool for 1–2 minutes. This helps it firm up and become crispier.

Repeat with the remaining batter.
