Equipment
- Waffle maker (standard or mini both work)
- Mixing bowl
- Fork or whisk
- Measuring cups and spoons.
- Spatula
- Cutting board
- Knife (for chopping ham)
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup diced cooked ham
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese for extra flavor
- 1 tablespoon almond flour optional, for structure
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder optional, for fluffiness
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of salt only if your ham isn’t very salty
- Cooking spray or a little butter for greasing waffle maker
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Waffle Maker
- Plug in your waffle maker and let it fully heat up. This is important. If it’s not hot enough, your chaffles won’t crisp properly.
- Lightly grease both sides with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined. You want a smooth, yellow mixture.
Step 3: Add the Cheese and Ham
- Add the shredded mozzarella, cheddar, diced ham, black pepper, garlic powder, and baking powder. If using almond flour, mix it in now.
- Stir everything together until evenly combined. It will look thick and chunky—that’s perfect.
Step 4: Fill the Waffle Maker
- Spoon half of the mixture into the center of the waffle maker. Spread slightly but don’t press it flat. Close the lid gently.
- Cook for about 4–5 minutes, depending on your waffle maker. Resist the urge to open it too early. Let it get golden and crisp.
Step 5: Remove and Repeat
- Carefully remove the chaffle with a spatula. Place it on a cooling rack for a minute to maintain crispness. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- And just like that, your Ham & Cheese Chaffles Recipe is ready.
