A chaffle is a low-carb, cheese-and-egg-based waffle that’s taken the keto world by storm, thanks to its fluffy texture and crispy edges. We opted to use Cheddar for the cheese and added scallions and parsley for a sweet and savory twist on the popular dish. For the fluffiest chaffle, use only finely shredded cheese––it will blend better with the egg than large shreds.

| Yield: | 2 to 4 servings (makes about 4 chaffles) |
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups finely shredded mild Cheddar
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Nonstick cooking spray
- Unsalted butter, for serving
- Sugar-free maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until well beaten and smooth. Whisk in the Cheddar, scallions, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- Coat the waffle iron with nonstick cooking spray, then ladle a heaping 1/4 cup of batter into each section. Close the lid and cook until well browned and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Use a small offset spatula or tongs to transfer the chaffles to a serving plate. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Top each chaffle with a pat of butter and drizzle with maple syrup.

Easy and yummy… used small square waffle iron and folded in half for a sausage sandwich w pickled onion tomato & sauerkraut! Yummm
Yum! I served it with sour cream and salsa. It was delicious!
This is so delicious and easy to make!
I didn’t have any parsley so I used fresh rosemary. Surprisingly excellent. I was a little leery about using maple syrup, but is was the perfect blend of sweet and savory. Really good.
I just made this for breakfast and everyone loved it. Leave it in the waffle iron a little longer, to crisp up. Easy and delicious

Sounds delicious but can they be made any other way than with a waffle iron?
I have yet to try this, but am questioning the instruction of 1/4 cup per waffle section given the picture. I would normally pour a scan half cup for a round waffle iron. We shall see once I have a chance to try it. The recipe itself sounds delicious.
