Storage & Serving Suggestions
Storage Tips
- Fridge-Friendly Chaffles…
Cooked chaffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just make sure they’re fully cooled before storing to keep them from getting soggy. - Freezer Superstar!
Yes, you can freeze chaffles! Stack them with parchment paper in between each layer, pop them into a freezer-safe bag, and they’ll last for up to 2 months. Reheat directly in a toaster or waffle iron for that fresh, crispy texture. - Bacon Prep Hack…
Cook extra bacon ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days. A quick zap in the microwave brings it back to life! - Keep Ingredients Separate
If you’re meal-prepping, store your toppings (lettuce, tomato, and mayo) separately from the chaffles. Assemble the sandwich right before eating to keep things fresh and crunchy.
Serving Tips
- Fresh is Best…
Serve your Keto BLT Chaffle Sandwich immediately after assembling for the ultimate crispy, fresh experience. Trust me, that first bite is chef’s kiss! - Pair It Up!
Want a little extra on the side? Pair your sandwich with a handful of pork rinds, a light keto coleslaw, or a pickle spear for added crunch. - Breakfast Twist…
Make it a breakfast BLT by adding a fried egg or some smashed avocado. It’s like brunch heaven in sandwich form! - Slice and Serve…
If you’re serving this to a crowd (or picky kids), cut the sandwich into halves or quarters for easy handling. Mini sandwiches, anyone? - Keto Sauce Game…
Upgrade your mayo with a squirt of sriracha or sprinkle of garlic powder for a little extra flavor kick.
Now you’re fully prepped to store it like a pro and serve it like a rockstar! 🎉

Note
When I first made this Keto BLT Chaffle Sandwich, I wasn’t sure how it would go over with my crew—three picky kids and a husband who loves his sandwiches the old-fashioned way. But guess what? They devoured it! My husband couldn’t believe the chaffles weren’t "real" bread, and the kids? Let’s just say the crispy bacon and cheesy chaffles had them sold at the first bite. It’s now a family favorite, and honestly, I love that I can whip it up in no time. Quick, delicious, and everyone’s happy—it doesn’t get better than that! ❤️
