Veggie Chaffles Ingredients
- 4 Small Eggs
- 1 cup Mixed Vegetables (such as bell peppers, onions, spinach, or zucchini, chopped)
- 3/4 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- Olive Oil, as needed (for brushing the waffle maker)
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle maker: Turn on your mini waffle maker and allow it to fully preheat so the chaffles will cook evenly and develop a crispy crust.
- Mix the batter: In a mixing bowl, combine 4 small eggs with 1 cup of mixed vegetables and 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated into a uniform mixture.
- Prepare the waffle maker: Lightly brush the preheated waffle maker with olive oil to prevent sticking and to help achieve a golden, crisp texture.
- Cook the chaffles: Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the egg mixture into the waffle maker, close the lid carefully, and cook for about 3 minutes or until the chaffle is golden and firm. Avoid opening too early to ensure proper cooking.
- Repeat: Remove the cooked chaffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter until all mixture is used, brushing the waffle maker with olive oil as needed between batches.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen mixed vegetables; if using frozen, thaw and drain excess water before mixing.
- You can customize the veggies based on preference or availability: mushrooms, tomatoes, or zucchini work well.
- For extra flavor, add herbs like chives, parsley, or a pinch of black pepper.
- Chaffles are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a toaster or oven to maintain crispiness.
- To make it dairy-free, substitute cheddar cheese with a vegan cheese alternative.
