Preheat a mini waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly grease if needed.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg until fully beaten. Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese until evenly
combined.
Pour the mixture into the preheated waffle maker, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook for
3–5 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden brown and crisp.
Carefully remove the chaffle and allow it to cool slightly. It will continue to firm up as it cools.
Serving and Storage:
Serve the chaffle warm as a bread substitute for sandwiches, burgers, or breakfast dishes. It can also
be topped with butter, avocado, eggs, or sugar-free spreads.
Leftover chaffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat
in a toaster or skillet to restore crispness.
Tips:
- Use low-moisture mozzarella for best texture.
- Let the chaffle cook fully to achieve a crisp exterior.
- Do not overfill the waffle maker to avoid overflow.
- Add seasoning or spices for extra flavor if desired.
- Allow it to cool slightly before removing for easier handling.
