Chaffle Ingredients
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese (freshly grated from the larger holes)
- 2 large Eggs (whisked well)
- 1 cup Ham (diced)
- 1 pinch Salt (optional)
- 1 pinch Black Pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle maker: Preheat your mini waffle maker to medium heat to ensure even cooking and optimal crispiness for your chaffles.
- Prepare the egg and ham mixture: In a bowl, combine the whisked eggs and diced ham, mixing gently until fully incorporated for consistent flavor throughout.
- Add the cheese: Fold in the freshly grated, cold cheddar cheese into the egg and ham mixture, distributing it evenly without over-mixing to maintain texture.
- Cook the chaffles: Spoon about ¼ cup of the mixture into the center of the preheated waffle maker, spreading slightly if needed, and cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove and repeat: Carefully remove the cooked chaffle from the waffle maker using a spatula to avoid damage, then repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter until all chaffles are made.
Notes
- Use freshly grated cheddar cheese for the best melting quality and flavor.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on your waffle maker model for desired crispiness.
- Optional seasonings like salt and black pepper can be added for enhanced taste.
- Serve warm for the best texture; these chaffles are great as a snack or sandwich base.
