Keto chaffles

Two golden keto chaffles stacked on a plate, crisp and waffle-textured, made from egg and cheese
Serving suggestion — your result will vary

The chaffle — a waffle made from egg and cheese — is the keto answer to bread, and the basic version is just two ingredients. It cooks crisp in a mini waffle maker in a few minutes and stands in for toast, sandwich bread, or a burger bun, all for about 2g net carbs each.

The trick is to let it cook fully and then sit for a minute. A chaffle pulled too early is floppy; given a moment it firms up like real toast.

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour (optional, for sturdier chaffles)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Steps

  1. Heat a mini waffle maker and let it get fully hot.
  2. Whisk the eggs, then stir in the mozzarella (and almond flour and baking powder, if using) and a pinch of salt.
  3. Spoon half the batter into the waffle maker, close, and cook 3–4 minutes until golden and crisp. Resist opening it early.
  4. Lift out the chaffle and repeat with the rest of the batter.
  5. Let them sit a minute to crisp up, then use as toast, sandwich bread, or eat them plain.

Notes and swaps

The two-ingredient version (egg and mozzarella) is the classic; a spoonful of almond flour and a pinch of baking powder make it sturdier and more bread-like for sandwiches. Swap in cheddar for a sharper savory chaffle, or go sweet with a little vanilla and a keto sweetener and top with berries and cream. Press them in a sandwich maker for a grilled-cheese base.
