Description
This Low Carb Grilled Cheese Chaffle is a keto-friendly take on a classic grilled cheese sandwich, made with chaffles (cheese waffles) instead of bread. It’s crispy, cheesy, and perfect for a quick, indulgent meal.
Ingredients
1 egg
¼ teaspoon garlic seasoning (or any seasoning of your choice)
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 slices American cheese (or substitute with any melting cheese like provolone or mozzarella)
1 tablespoon butter (for grilling)
For the Grilled Cheese Sandwich:
1 tablespoon butter (for grilling the sandwich)
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle maker to ensure it’s nice and hot.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, garlic seasoning, and shredded cheddar cheese until fully combined.
- Pour half of the chaffle mixture into the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for about 4 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden and set. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- In a pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted, place one chaffle in the pan, top it with 1 slice of American cheese, and then place the second chaffle on top to form a sandwich.
- Grill for about 1 minute on the first side, until golden brown. Flip the sandwich and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the cheese is fully melted and the chaffle is crispy.
- Remove from the pan and serve immediately.
Notes
For a different flavor, try substituting American cheese with mozzarella, provolone, or Havarti.
For a spicy kick, add jalapeños or hot sauce to the batter.
