Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (freshly shredded works best for melting)
- 2 tablespoons almond flour (optional for stricter keto version)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt and black pepper (to taste)
- 2 large eggs (fried or scrambled, your choice)
- 2 slices bacon, cooked until crispy (or turkey bacon/sausage patties)
- 1 slice cheddar cheese (or your favorite melting cheese)
- Optional: 2 slices tomato or a few avocado slices
- Optional: a smear of mayonnaise or keto-friendly mustard
Instructions
- Preheat your mini waffle maker for 3-5 minutes and lightly grease the waffle plates with avocado oil or non-stick spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk 2 large eggs until frothy (about 1 minute). Add 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, 2 tablespoons almond flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until well combined; batter should be thick but scoopable.
- Spoon about ¼ cup of batter onto the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid gently and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Carefully remove the chaffle buns using a silicone spatula and set aside on a wire rack to cool slightly.
- In a skillet over medium heat, fry 2 slices of bacon until crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and drain on paper towels.
- In the same pan, cook 2 eggs your preferred way—fried with runny yolks or scrambled.
- Assemble the sandwich by placing one chaffle bun on a plate, layering with a slice of cheddar cheese, crispy bacon, cooked egg, and optional tomato or avocado slices. Top with the second chaffle bun.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the melty cheese and crisp buns.
Notes
Use freshly shredded mozzarella for best melting and texture. Lightly grease waffle maker before each batch to prevent sticking. Almond flour adds structure but can be omitted for a softer bun. Chaffle buns freeze well; reheat in toaster or oven before assembling. Keep assembled sandwiches warm but avoid stacking to maintain crispness.
