Ham and Cheese Chaffles

Certainly! Chaffles have become a popular low-carb alternative to traditional waffles, made primarily from cheese and eggs. They can be customized in various ways, and adding ham to create Ham and Cheese Chaffles is a delicious variation. Here’s a simple recipe to make them:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or any cheese of your choice)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup almond flour (optional, for a firmer texture)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped ham
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for a fluffier texture)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or butter for greasing

Equipment:

  • Waffle maker

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Your Waffle Maker: Start by preheating your waffle maker. If it has temperature settings, set it to medium. Grease it lightly with cooking spray or butter to ensure your chaffles don’t stick.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheese, egg, almond flour (if using), baking powder (if using), and finely chopped ham. Season with a little salt and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
