Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons ground basil
- 2 teaspoons ground oregano
- 1 teaspoon freshly chopped rosemary Optional but highly recommended
- 3 cups grated or shredded cheese (270 grams) Choose an aged cheddar or Parmesan cheese or a combo of both
- 1 cup almond flour 93 grams
- A bit of olive oil to coat the waffle maker. Or use coconut oil or melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron maker on a medium heat setting (I use setting 5, with 7 being the highest setting on my waffle maker.)
- Place the eggs, salt, and herbs in a bowl. Beat the eggs until everything is well combined.
- Stir the cheese in the beaten eggs.
- Then whisk in the almond flour until well combined.
- Brush hot waffle iron plates with a bit of coconut, olive oil, or butter and spoon about ¼ cup of the batter onto each waffle iron plate. Close and cook the chaffles.
- Cook until the automatic light turns green, about 3 to 4 minutes. Use a fork to lift the waffles carefully out of the waffle iron. Place them on a plate or cooling rack to cool slightly—they will get crispier.

Notes
- Batter consistency: You'll get a beautiful yellow batter filled with cheese that is relatively thick in texture. It will need some help to slide onto the hot waffle iron.
- Waffle iron setting: I bake them on a medium waffle iron setting (5) to get them golden crispy and avoid burning the cheese. I always use a bit of olive oil to coat the waffle iron and give the chaffles that golden brown crispy touch.
- Storage: Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat by popping them in a toaster on a low to medium setting to give them a fresh, slightly crunchy texture and warm them up.
