4.6 from 124 reviews

These Best Crunchy Ham Cheese Chaffles are a delicious, low-carb treat combining savory diced ham with freshly grated cheddar cheese, all cooked to golden perfection in a mini waffle maker. Crispy on the outside and tender inside, they make a perfect breakfast or snack option.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chaffles

  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, freshly grated from the larger holes
  • 2 large Eggs, whisked well
  • 1 cup Ham, diced
  • 1 pinch Salt, optional
  • 1 pinch Black Pepper, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat Waffle Maker: Preheat your mini waffle maker to medium heat to ensure it is hot enough to cook the chaffles evenly and create a crispy exterior.
  2. Mix Eggs and Ham: In a bowl, whisk the eggs gently and then add the diced ham, mixing until well combined to distribute the ham evenly throughout the batter.
  3. Add Cheese: Fold in the freshly grated, cold cheddar cheese carefully until it is evenly distributed in the egg and ham mixture without overmixing.
  4. Cook Chaffles: Spoon about ¼ cup of the mixture into the center of the preheated waffle maker.
  5. Cook Until Golden: Close the waffle maker and cook the chaffles for 3-4 minutes or until they develop a golden brown color and a crispy texture.
  6. Remove Carefully: Carefully remove the cooked chaffle from the waffle maker to avoid breaking the crispy edges.
  7. Repeat Cooking: Repeat the cooking process with the remaining batter for additional chaffles.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated, cold cheddar cheese for the best texture and to help the chaffles crisp up properly.
  • Allow chaffles to cool on a wire rack to maintain and enhance their crispiness.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste, but these are optional.
  • Be careful when removing chaffles from the waffle maker to keep their shape intact.
