Chaffles!

I loved the mini waffle maker I got two years ago so much that now I have three of them. Just cause we're on a diet doesn't mean I put them into long term storage, either. I use them to make chaffles instead! These can be the base for keto mini pizzas or as a bread substitute for sandwiches. 

These are very simple to make. You will need a blender (or immersion blender) and a mini waffle maker for this recipe. 

Makes 6 mini waffles

Ingredients: 

• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup cauliflower rice
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2c - 1 c shredded parmesan
• SNP to taste (start light)

Plug in waffle iron. 

Process eggs, cauliflower, mozz and spices in blender or with immersion blender. 

Spread 1 TBSP parmesan on bottom of waffle iron. Spread cauliflower mix evenly over bottom of waffle iron, about 1-2 TBSP. Sprinkle top of mixture with parmesan, close waffle iron. 

Cook 6-8 minutes until browned and crisp. For best results, cool on a metal cooling rack. If serving immediately then you can keep waffles warm at 250F in the oven while you're finishing the batch. These freeze well. 

To reheat: use toaster oven or regular oven set at 350 to crisp. 

Substitutions: You can use any cheese you want in the filling. This recipe works well for italian or greek dishes. If you're doing a ham sandwich, try cheddar and garlic and onion powder. You can go spicy with some ranch powder and fresh jalapeno with cheddar as well.
