Ingredients
  

For the Chaffle Batter
  • 1 large Egg Binds ingredients and provides structure; beat it well for the best texture.
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese (sharp or mild) Offers a rich flavor; sharp enhances the taste while mild contributes to a classic profile.
  • 1 slice American Cheese Adds a creamy, melty texture; can be substituted with provolone or mozzarella for a different twist.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Boosts flavor; optional but highly recommended for an extra kick.
For Grilling
  • 1 tablespoon Butter Used for grilling the chaffle sandwich, enriching it with a crispy, golden exterior.

Equipment

  • mini waffle maker
  • non-stick skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Low Carb Grilled Cheese Chaffle
  1. Preheat your mini waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, crack one egg and whisk until well beaten. Add garlic powder and shredded cheddar cheese, mixing until fully combined into a thick batter.
  3. Pour half of the chaffle batter into the preheated waffle maker, close the lid gently, and cook for approximately 4 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Once the first chaffle is cooked, carefully remove it and set it aside. Repeat with the remaining batter, cooking for another 4 minutes.
  5. While the second chaffle cooks, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a pat of butter until melted.
  6. Place one chaffle in the skillet, top with slices of American cheese, and add the second chaffle on top to form a sandwich. Grill for about 1 minute.
  7. Gently flip the sandwich and grill for another minute until both sides are crispy and the cheese is melted.
  8. Carefully remove the chaffle sandwich from the skillet, slice in half, and serve immediately while hot.
