Ingredients
Chaffle Ingredients
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup shredded cheese
- 1 tbsp scallions (finely chopped)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Oil or non-stick spray (for greasing the waffle iron)
Instructions
- Preheat and grease the waffle iron: Grease the waffle iron with oil or non-stick spray and preheat it for about 2 minutes to ensure it is hot and ready for cooking.
- Prepare the batter: In a bowl, whisk together the egg, shredded cheese, finely chopped scallions, and salt and pepper until well combined.
- Cook the first chaffle: Pour half of the batter mixture onto the preheated waffle iron and close the lid. Cook for approximately 4 to 5 minutes, or until the egg is fully cooked and the chaffle is crispy and golden brown.
- Cook the second chaffle: Repeat the process with the remaining batter, cooking another 4 to 5 minutes until done.
- Cool and serve: Remove the chaffles and place them on a wire rack to cool slightly and firm up for the best texture. Serve immediately or use as desired.
Notes
- The type of shredded cheese can be varied to suit flavors, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan.
- For crispier chaffles, cook a little longer but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Chaffles can be used as sandwich buns or enjoyed plain with toppings like butter or avocado.
- Store cooked chaffles in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture.
