Ingredients
  

For the Chaffles
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Freshly grated cheddar provides optimal melting and flavor.
  • 2 large Eggs Acting as a binding agent, ensure they’re well beaten for a fluffy texture.
  • 1 cup Ham Any cooked ham works wonderfully to add savory protein.
Optional Add-ins
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika A dash of paprika can elevate the flavor; it adds a lovely warmth.
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Vegetables Finely diced bell peppers or spinach can boost nutrition and taste.

Equipment

  • Mini waffle maker

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the Waffle Maker. Begin by preheating your mini waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions for about 5 minutes.

  2. Prepare the Batter. In a mixing bowl, crack a couple of eggs and beat them until frothy, about 1-2 minutes. Then add freshly grated cheddar cheese and diced ham, mixing thoroughly until cohesive.

Notes

For the best flavor, use freshly grated cheese and avoid overfilling the waffle maker. Let cooked chaffles rest to maintain their crunchiness.
