Chaffle Breakfast Sandwich

This chaffle breakfast sandwich comes together in less than 10 minutes and makes eating keto or low carb diet a breeze! Only 3 Net Carbs for the whole sandwich!

The chaffle craze is still going strong and I love to come up with different recipes that are fun and make the low carb or keto lifestyle a breeze! Breakfast sandwiches are quick to make with chaffles because while the chaffle is cooking in your waffle iron, you can cook your egg in a skillet. Bacon or sausage patties can be cooked in the microwave so this whole entire breakfast sandwich comes together in under 5 minutes. Judge me all you want but that is how I cook my bacon or sausage patties. 

What is a chaffle? 

A chaffle is a waffle made of cheddar and an egg. It is simply a play on combined words. There are many different recipes for chaffles and some call for almond flour. I really like the taste of almond flour and that is why I add almond flour to my chaffles. Some people are die-hard chaffle fans and think that a chaffle should only be an egg and cheese. That is personal preference and one time someone gave my chaffle recipe a low rating because of that. Pretty dumb in my opinion but whatever I guess? 

What type of waffle iron should I use? 

I don’t have a mini waffle maker which is what people are using to make their chaffle buns or chaffle bread. I don’t think a mini waffle iron is necessary, but the mini waffles are pretty darn cute. I use my Villa waffle maker and then cut the chaffle in half to make a sandwich.

What kind of cheese do I need to make a chaffle? 

Mozzarella or cheddar are the two cheeses that are popular to make chaffles with. I’ve seen people use Monterey jack. Pepper jack cheese would be good if you like spicy chaffles. 

How to make a Chaffle Breakfast Sandwich 

Preheat your waffle iron. 

While the waffle iron is preheating, mix together the cheese, egg, and almond flour together in a bowl. 

Spray the waffle iron with Cooking Spray and spread the batter on to the waffle iron. Close it and let the waffle cook. 

While the waffle is cooking cook your egg in a skillet. Make whatever type of egg you prefer. Cook bacon in microwave. 

Assemble your chaffle breakfast sandwich and enjoy!
