A Low Carb Chaffle Burger is a delicious and keto-friendly alternative to a traditional burger. “Chaffle” is a term derived from “cheese” and “waffle,” and it’s made primarily from cheese and eggs. Here’s how you can make a Low Carb Chaffle Burger:
Ingredients
Chaffle:
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or any cheese of your choice)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon almond flour or coconut flour for added texture
Burger:
- 1/4 pound ground beef patty
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 slice of cheese (optional)
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Pickles
- Low-carb condiments (e.g., sugar-free ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise)
Instructions
Making the Chaffles:
- Preheat Waffle Maker: Preheat your mini waffle maker.
- Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, whisk the egg and then mix in the shredded cheese. If using, add the almond or coconut flour and mix well.
- Cook the Chaffles: Pour half of the mixture into the preheated waffle maker. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining batter to make the second chaffle.
Cooking the Burger:
- Season the Patty: Season the ground beef patty with salt and pepper.
- Cook the Patty: In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the patty to your desired level of doneness. If using cheese, place a slice on top of the patty during the last minute of cooking and cover with a lid to melt.
- Assemble the Burger: Place one chaffle on a plate, then layer with the cooked burger patty, lettuce, tomato, pickles, and your choice of condiments. Top with the second chaffle.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve immediately while the chaffles are still warm and crispy.
- Pair with a side salad or low-carb vegetables for a complete meal.
