Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. Preheat Waffle Maker: Begin by preheating your mini waffle maker to a medium heat setting to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking.
  2. Mix Eggs and Ham: In a bowl, combine the whisked eggs and diced ham. Gently whisk until the mixture is thoroughly blended.
  3. Add Cheese: Fold in the freshly grated, cold cheddar cheese into the egg and ham mixture. Stir gently to distribute the cheese evenly throughout the batter.
  4. Cook Chaffles: Spoon about ¼ cup of the mixture into the center of your preheated waffle maker, spreading slightly if needed.
  5. Cook Until Golden: Cook the chaffles for 3 to 4 minutes or until they become golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  6. Remove Chaffles: Carefully remove the cooked chaffle from the waffle maker using a spatula or similar utensil to avoid breaking.
  7. Repeat: Repeat the spooning and cooking process with the remaining batter until all chaffles are cooked.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, try adding herbs like parsley or chives to the mixture.
  • Ensure the cheese is cold and freshly grated for the best texture and melting quality.
  • If you want a spicier version, add a pinch of chili flakes or smoked paprika to the batter.
  • Serve chaffles immediately for optimal crunchiness, or store in an airtight container and reheat in a toaster or oven to restore crispness.
  • Use a non-stick waffle maker or grease it lightly to prevent sticking.
