Description
These Crispy Savory Cheddar Chaffles are my go-to when I want something warm, cheesy, and ridiculously easy. They’re crunchy on the outside, soft inside, and honestly difficult to stop snacking on straight off the counter.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp almond flour (optional, but adds structure)
- 1/2 tsp baking powder (optional, makes them lighter)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Everything Bagel seasoning
- Oil spray, for greasing your chaffle machine
Instructions
- Preheat your mini chaffle maker and lightly grease it with oil spray so nothing sticks later.
- In a bowl, whisk 2 large eggs until the yolks and whites are fully blended.
- Add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 2 tbsp almond flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and 1/2 tsp Everything Bagel seasoning.
- Stir everything until well combined, then let the batter rest for 2 to 3 minutes, so the almond flour can absorb some moisture. This helps prevent soggy chaffles.
- Spoon 1 heaping tbsp batter into the center of the hot chaffle maker. Don’t spread it, it’ll do that on its own.
- Close the lid and cook for about 2 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Timing can vary slightly depending on your machine.
- Carefully remove and place on a wire rack, so the steam doesn’t soften them.
- Repeat until all the batter is used.
Kitchen note:
- I usually triple this recipe, using 6 eggs to make 18 chaffles.
- Once cooled, I store them in the fridge or freezer and pop them straight into the toaster.
- My husband swore he disliked almond flour, yet here we are, he keeps asking for more.

Sounds tempting…the name alone makes me smile! #SeniorSalonpiststop
Thanks Lydia. One of my favorites and I have them in the freezer to pop in the toaster so always have ‘bread’
These look delicious, Esme!
I am biased, but yes they are delicious, even frozen and then toasted. Enjoy
Bring on the cheese! 🙂 Always love your chaffle recipes, I really have no excuse as I do have a waffle maker! I need to get on these as they are a fabulous snack! Sim #SSPS
Yes, they are for sure Sim, love them and ALWAYS have some sort of chaffle/waffle in the freezer at the ready
Oh my! I think I’ve just found a favourite new snack. These look so good, and I love anything cheesy! Thanks so much for sharing with #MMBC. Hope to see you again, Esme. 🙂

These look so tasty–I think my little grandkids would love them! Pinned to make for them!
Thank you for pinning and hope the grands will enjoy them. I surely love them and make them on repeat, freeze and toast as neede.
When I read the title, I was perplexed – chaffles? In the post you mentioned your little chaffle maker and I thought – I missed a new piece of equipment too? Then I see waffles and a little waffle maker! You are so creative! I love the idea of little chaffles. I think I could eat a bunch. Pinned.
Sorry for the confusion Carol. Chaffles are low-carb, keto-friendly, 2-ingredient “cheese waffles” made from eggs and shredded cheese, whereas traditional waffles are flour-based, high-carb breakfast items. I did mention: 2 tbsp almond flour (optional, but adds structure).
In fact, I just toasted some that I had in the freezer and they are awesome. Now to make some more. You can make them in the chaffle or waffle machine.
