- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Pinch of salt
- 4 slices bacon (cooked crispy)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 1/2 avocado (sliced)
- Handful of fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1 Prepare the Chaffle Batter
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- 2 Cook the Chaffles
Preheat your chaffle maker or waffle iron to 200°C. Grease the plates lightly with cooking spray or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking. Pour half of the batter onto the preheated plates, spreading it evenly. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the chaffles are golden brown and crispy.
- 3 Prepare the Fillings
While the chaffles are cooking, prepare your sandwich fillings. Cook the bacon until crispy and set aside. In a separate pan, scramble the eggs to your desired doneness. Slice the avocado and wash the spinach leaves. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a creamy spread.
- 4 Assemble the Sandwiches
Once the first chaffle is cooked, remove it from the maker and place a slice of cheddar cheese on top while it's still warm to allow it to melt slightly. Add a layer of scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, sliced avocado, and fresh spinach leaves. Spread the creamy mayo-Dijon mixture on the second chaffle and place it on top to complete the sandwich.
- 5 Serve and Enjoy
Serve your Keto Chaffle Sandwiches immediately while warm and crispy. Pair them with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad for a complete meal. Enjoy the rich, savory flavors and the satisfying crunch of the chaffles!
- Storage: These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh. However, you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place in a toaster or oven until warmed through and crispy.
- Variations:
- Veggie Delight: Replace bacon with sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions for a vegetarian option.
- Spicy Kick: Add sliced jalapeños and a spread of sriracha mayo for some heat.
- Breakfast Boost: Include a slice of ham and a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra protein-packed morning meal.
- Tips:
- Ensure your chaffle maker is well-greased to prevent sticking.
- Experiment with different cheeses like Parmesan or Swiss for varied flavors.
- If you don’t have a chaffle maker, a waffle iron or even a toaster oven with a grill function can be used.
