What Is A Chaffle?
Good question! A chaffle is an incredible way to eat waffles while you’re eating low-carb. The word chaffle comes from a combination of the words cheese and waffle. The most basic version of the recipes can be made with only cheese and eggs in a waffle iron.
How do you make Zucchini Chaffles?
- Sprinkle about 1/4 teaspoon of salt on the zucchini and let it sit while you gather your ingredients. Just before using, wrap the zucchini in a paper towel, and press to squeeze out all the excess water,
- In a small bowl, beat the egg. Add in grated zucchini, mozzarella, basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle 1-2 tablespoons of shredded parmesan to cover the bottom of the waffle iron.
- Spread 1/4 of the zucchini mixture. Top with another 1-2 tablespoons of shredded parmesan and close the lid. Use enough to cover the surface. Watch the video to see how.
- Allow the zucchini chaffle to cook for 4-8 minutes depending on the size of your waffle maker. Typically, when the chaffle has stopped emitting clouds of steam, it is almost done. For best results, allow it to cook until well browned.
- Remove and repeat for the next waffle(s). Makes 2 full-size chaffles or 4 small chaffles in the Dash Mini Waffle Maker.
