Home Cooking – Chaffles

-

Allow me to introduce you to the “chaffle,” folks.   

Do you have 2 eggs and a cup of shredded mozzarella cheese? All you need is some cooking spray and a waffle iron and you’re on your way to a seriously good and versatile low-carb vessel for sandwiches or desserts. 

There are so many different versions of chaffles.  

Play with sugars and spices and you can turn these into anything you wish. If you want to make an Italian, add some garlic and Italian seasoning. I have made a Reuben and a BLT with the savory chaffles. I prepared a cinnamon roll and a chocolate PB for a baking-free sweet treat.

Now that I’ve introduced you, look up some recipes on Pinterest. Endless possibilities.
