Servings & Timing
- Servings: 4 chaffles (depending on waffle maker size)
- Prep Time: 3 minutes
- Cook Time: 8 minutes total
- Total Time: 11 minutes
Ingredients List
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup finely shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (you can also mix both for extra flavor)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat
- Plug in your Dash mini waffle maker (or any waffle iron) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes until hot.
Step 2: Mix
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
- Add shredded cheese and stir well until fully combined. The mixture will be thick and cheesy.
Step 3: Cook
- Spray the waffle iron with a light coating of non-stick cooking spray or melted butter.
- Pour about ¼ of the mixture into the waffle iron (just enough to cover the surface but not overflow).
- Close the lid and cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden and crisp.
- Carefully remove and place on a wire rack to keep crisp.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
Step 4: Serve
- Serve warm as savory waffles, or cool slightly to use as bread for sandwiches, burgers, or breakfast melts.
Additional Notes
- Cheese Choices: Mozzarella makes mild, softer chaffles; cheddar gives a sharper flavor and crispier edges.
- Extra Flavor Options: Add a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, or Italian seasoning to the batter.
- Texture Tip: For crispier chaffles, let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving instead of stacking them.

FAQs
Q: Can I use another type of cheese?
Yes! Try cheddar, pepper jack, Monterey jack, or a mozzarella-cheddar mix for variety.
Q: Why is my chaffle soft instead of crispy?
It may need a longer cook time. Let it cook until deep golden and cool on a rack instead of a plate.
Q: Can I make these without a waffle maker?
Yes — cook spoonfuls of batter in a non-stick skillet like mini pancakes for similar results.
