Chaffles

[TimeForMe]

I’ll get a Cuisinart next if it’s not too huge. I’m cooking for one.

I’m also cooking for one, though it is pretty big. It makes four waffles. I typically only use two of the wells for the waffles and the other two, I’ll sometimes put whatever I’m putting in my chaffle sandwich to heat it up… rotisserie chicken, ham, deli meats, brisket, etc. (Only stuff that’s already cooked through of course.)

Posted this in the keto in the wild thread, had it for breakfast at a restaurant this AM.

Keto in the Wild: Waffelette

A chain called Le Peep has a fall special menu item. Wafflette is what they call it, a chaffale by another name I reckon. No flour, eggs, cheese, spices, small ham cubes cooked on a waffle iron, served with sour cream and a side of hollandaise sauce. The two together is really good. [Le%20Peep%20wafflette]

Now I need to learn how to cook Hollandaise…I confess I have never cooked a sauce in my life!

Hollandaise sauce is so easy to make… You can do it.

Gravy & Sauces

This is my standard fast hollandaise sauce in the foolproof one bowl method.

Hollandaise Sauce Banting/Keto

In a double boiler add the following:

1 egg yolk

4 Tbsp. butter cubed

1 Tbsp. water

½ tsp. lemon juice

½ tsp. Dijon

Tarragon or dill (optional)

Heat the mixture over very hot ‘not rolling boiling’ water

Constantly whisk for about 6 minutes until desired thickness

• DO NOT STOP WHISKING or it will separate
• If the water is too hot, pull the top pot off the steam while whisking
• Sauce for 3 eggs benedict

I tried these this morning and also the traditional chaffles with cheese and egg. I added a pinch of baking soda and almond flour to the cheese version.

My husband liked the cheese-less one better and I liked the cheese one myself. Spread with butter and chive cream cheese on one and butter, plain cream cheese and everything-bagel seasoning on the other

I found a Faberware with removable plates that makes 2 square waffles. They are a bit thicker and larger than those made in a Dash, but the convenience of removing them to wash is worth it. Think it came from Walmart.

Cheese on toast for supper! Was making chafflewiches for our packed lunches so thought I’d make extra chaffles for our meal this evening.

JUST the right amount of crispy cheese-on-toasty chewiness… yum yum yum!

Picked up a waffle maker from goodwill for $6! Had an egg sandwich for lunch. Yum

[monsterjuice]

I found some chive cream cheese with very little ingredients and it’s amazing!

Pumpkin-Cranberry Chaffles

I used the recipe for Pumpkin Bread Chaffles I gave earlier in this thread, except I increased the almond flour to three tablespoons and I added about a quarter cup of frozen cranberries (no need to thaw first; could also use fresh cranberries).

I was really hungry when my husband and I went to Sam’s yesterday evening, so I felt extra tortured by all the special holiday foods they are stocking now. But knowing I could make pumpkin-cranberry chaffles today really helped.

I made a big batch today, 10 in all. Pizza for dinner, and the rest will be for whenever.

And yes, I have two of the Dash minis. I just picked up a second one this morning at Target, they’re the only place I found around here or online that are still selling them for 10 bucks.

I won’t be able to make these this week but thought they looked good and wanted to share if anyone else has a chance to:

The chaffel dome architecture is interesting.

Oh my goodness that looks delicious!

I have bookmarked this, Bunny, thanks, that looks awesome. My birthday is in November and I think this would be a great idea!

I’ve got into a good routine of making lunch chaffles while doing my morning chores like emptying the dishwasher, making coffee and getting breakfast sorted. These are for Mr S and me to take to work.

Looking back just a couple of weeks I’ve changed my chaffling technique massively! To start with I seemed to need a whole egg per chaffle… but now I’ve perfected my pouring technique (and started using a spoon to reach the corners - why did THAT take me so long to work out?!) these two sets of chafflewiches required only two eggs, not four!

In the picture, the cross-section of the chaffles looks really dry - trust me, they’re not! They’re like gorgeous soft bread.

Which recipe do you use?

This one looked like a good fall harvest time chaffle cake. I love pumpkin and the spices that go with it.

Keto Pumpkin Custard Chaffle Cake / Low Carb / Gluten Free / Sugar Free

[KetoSnaps]

Which recipe do you use?

Having tried various combos this is what I do:

For these it was 2 eggs, 8 tablespoons grated mozzarella, a teaspoon of butter, and just under half a teaspoon of baking powder (I didn’t need quite that much, tbh, but that’s what I ended up with), all whizzed up with the stick blender.

I like to whizz up the batter because I don’t like my chaffles to taste eggy or cheesy, and this seems to make it totally neutral in flavour so perfect for sandwich ‘bread’! Adding the butter means I’ve never had to grease my waffle maker.

Made 4 normal-sized chaffles (by which I mean not mini and not deep!).

[DeeCS]

I had regular and chocolate chaffles in the fridge. I made pizza for me with the regular ones. Guess which ones hubby decided to use? Mmmm (NOT) chocolate, mozzarella, pizza sauce, and pepperoni.

He says it’s odd, but good.

Don’t you love the way mayonnaise sticks in the holes of your Chaffle for a meat and cheese sandwich.?
