I've been eating low-carb (not keto) and while I will still have bread from time to time, I'd like to eliminate it as much as possible, while still feeling full. Then someone introduced me to chaffles (cheese and egg in a waffle iron) to replace bread in sandwiches. Where have these been all of my life?! Today's lunch was amazing and incredibly filling with turkey, spinach, & tomato between two mini homemade chaffles. I will definitely be doing this more often!

| We love them. The Carb Smart fajita tortillas are also fantastic. Aldi has Keto bread, but I haven’t tried it yet |
| Sorry, but ew! Tho I guess this is basically just an omelet with unconventional assembly. Do you eat with your hands (like a sandwich) or fork and knife (like a waffle)? |
| Yeah, I thought this was going to be some kind of exotic street food.... |
| I'm intrigued - as a bread lover - but also cheese and egg lover, so will look that up. thanks for sharing! |
| I was thinking chocolate waffles. . . |

OP here - I did 1 cup of cheese (mixed mozzarella and cheddar) to 1 egg and split the mixture in half for each chaffle in a mini-waffle maker. Not eggy at all. I ate it like a sandwich with my hands. not messy at all.
Someone recommended that I search different chaffle recipes for add-ins but I'm already considering adding a bit of seasonings for an herb-bread the next time. |
| It probably tastes like burnt cheese and eggs, which is one of my cringey foods. Yuck. |
| I was expecting this to be about cherry jaffles. |
Burnt cheese is delicious. The egg just holds it together. I wonder if you could leave the egg out and just have burnt cheese. Yum. |
Frico! |

friend who grew up poor told me when she was a kid they'd throw government cheese in a skillet to make crispy burned cheese. I love picking at the stuff that runs out of a cheeseburger into a frying pan and fries.
I thought chaffles would be an eastern european breakfast bread |
