Simple Chaffles
Low carb "bread" made from egg and cheese in a waffle maker. Perfect for sandwiches.
When I first cut back on carbs, bread was the thing I missed the most. So I started experimenting with low carb alternatives, and chaffles won. They're made from just egg and cheese in a waffle maker, and they're sturdy enough to hold a proper sandwich.

Serves2 mini chaffles (1 sandwich)
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 50 g (½ cup) shredded mozzarella
- 1 tbsp almond flour
How to make it
- Heat up your mini waffle maker.
- Whisk the egg in a bowl, then stir in the mozzarella and almond flour.

- Let the chaffles cool for a minute on a rack so they firm up.
Tips
This makes 2 chaffles in a mini waffle maker. Make a double batch and keep them in the fridge, or freeze them and crisp them in the toaster.
Swaps
Cheddar instead of mozzarella makes them hold together even better.
