• Total Time: 20 minutes

• Servings: 2 (makes 4 waffle slices)

🧾 Ingredients

For the Keto Waffles:

• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

• 2 tbsp cream cheese

• 1 cup almond flour

• 1 large egg

• ½ tsp baking powder

• ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)

• ¼ tsp salt

Optional Sandwich Fillings:

• Sliced turkey or chicken

• Cheddar or Swiss cheese

• Lettuce leaves

• Tomato slices

• Avocado

• Keto mayo or mustard

🔪 Equipment

• Waffle maker

• Mixing bowl

• Microwave-safe bowl

• Spatula

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Melt the Cheese

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for about 60–90 seconds, stirring halfway through, until fully melted and smooth.

Step 2: Make the Dough

Add almond flour, egg, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder to the melted cheese. Mix thoroughly until a soft dough forms. It may be slightly sticky—this is normal.

Step 3: Preheat Waffle Maker

Preheat your waffle maker and lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 4: Cook the Waffles

Divide the dough into portions and place onto the waffle maker. Close and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 5: Cool Slightly

Remove waffles and let them cool for 2–3 minutes. This helps them firm up and makes them easier to use as sandwich “bread.”

Step 6: Assemble the Sandwich

Layer your fillings between two waffle pieces:

• Start with cheese

• Add protein (turkey/chicken)

• Top with veggies and sauce

• Close with another waffle

🥗 Serving Ideas

• Serve warm with a side salad

• Pair with keto soup for a hearty meal

• Use as a breakfast sandwich with eggs and bacon

🔥 Tips for Best Results

• Use low-moisture mozzarella for crispier waffles

• Don’t overfill the waffle maker—thin layers cook better

• Let waffles cool slightly to firm up before assembling

• Add herbs or spices to customize flavor
