Ingredients:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for added flavor)
- Salt and pepper to taste (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat Your Waffle Maker: Heat up your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 30 seconds, then stir until the mixture is smooth.
- Add the egg to the cheese mixture and whisk until well combined.
- Stir in the almond flour, baking powder, and any optional seasonings (like garlic powder). Mix until the batter is smooth and uniform.
- Cook the Chaffles:
- Lightly grease the waffle maker with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
- Pour a portion of the batter onto the waffle maker, spreading it evenly.
- Close the waffle maker and cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden brown and crispy. Cooking times may vary based on your waffle maker, so check the chaffle and adjust as needed.
- Cool and Serve:
- Carefully remove the chaffle from the waffle maker and let it cool slightly on a wire rack. This helps maintain its crispness.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Enjoy!
- Serve your chaffles as you would with traditional bread. They’re great for sandwiches, toast, or just enjoying with a spread of your choice.
Feel free to experiment by adding herbs, spices, or even a bit of shredded cheddar for different flavor profiles. Enjoy your keto-friendly bread substitute!
