½cupColby Jack, shredded cheesefinely shredded; any type of shredded cheese may be used
2Tablespoonsalmond flouror coconut flour
Instructions
Preheat the waffle iron. Note: The instructions assume you are using a mini waffle maker, like the Dash. See notes if you're using a regular-sized or Belgian waffle maker.
Stir egg, shredded cheese, and almond flour together in a small bowl. It will be a little thick.
Open the waffle iron and mist it with cooking spray. Transfer half the batter (about ¼ cup) into the waffle maker. Use a silicone spatula to spread the batter to the edge of the well for a clean edge.
Allow the chaffle to cook for about 4 minutes or until the steam no longer escapes from the sides. Remove with silicone tongs.
Repeat with remaining batter. The chaffles will continue to crisp and firm up for a few minutes after you remove them. Enjoy!

Different Waffle Maker - If using a different type of waffle maker then follow the directions for your appliance. The general process works the same way. I've made these in a Belgian Waffle Maker and was able to use all the batter at once.
Store - Place chaffles in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in a toaster or air fryer.
Sweet chaffles - use mozzarella cheese and add a teaspoon of sweetener.
