Ingredients

1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

2 large eggs

1/4 cup almond flour

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Pinch of salt (to taste)

Cooking spray (for waffle iron)

Optional: Fresh chopped cilantro or chives for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the waffle iron: Turn on your waffle iron and allow it to preheat. Lightly spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Prepare the batter: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded pepper jack cheese, eggs, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated, creating a thick batter.

Cook the chaffle: Once the waffle iron is heated, pour half of the chaffle batter into the center of the iron (about 1/2 cup). Close the lid and cook according to your waffle iron’s instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, until the chaffle is golden brown and crispy.

Remove and repeat: Carefully remove the chaffle using a fork or silicone spatula. Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make a second chaffle.

Serve and garnish: Serve the chaffles warm, garnished with fresh chopped cilantro or chives if desired. These are excellent on their own or can be paired with avocado slices, salsa, or sour cream for extra flavor.
