Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Chaffle Batter
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • 1 tbsp almond flour optional but recommended
  • 0.25 tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch garlic powder optional
Sandwich Filling & Grilling
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter for grilling
  • 2 slices sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 slice provolone cheese

Equipment

  • Mini Waffle Maker
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Skillet
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat your mini waffle maker. In a small bowl, beat the egg.
  2. Add 1/2 cup of mozzarella, almond flour, baking powder, and garlic powder to the egg. Mix well.
  3. Sprinkle a little plain mozzarella directly onto the hot waffle iron. Pour half the batter over it, close, and cook for 3-4 minutes until crispy and golden.
  4. Remove the first chaffle and let it cool on a wire rack. Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make the second chaffle.
  5. Place the cheddar and provolone slices between the two cooled chaffles to assemble your sandwich.
  6. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Place the sandwich in the pan and grill slowly for 2-3 minutes per side until the inside cheese is completely melted and gooey.
  7. Remove from heat, cut in half, and serve immediately.

Notes

Letting the chaffles rest on a wire rack for a few minutes before grilling the sandwich is the secret to a sturdy, bread-like texture!
