Chaffle burgers are a delicious low-carb alternative to traditional burgers, using a “chaffle” as the bun. Here’s a basic recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
For the Chaffles:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or any cheese of your choice)
- Optional: Seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning
For the Burger:
- 1/4 lb ground beef (or turkey, chicken, or a plant-based alternative)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cheese slices (optional)
- Lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and any other burger toppings you prefer
Instructions:
For the Chaffles:
- Preheat your mini waffle maker.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and shredded cheese until well combined. Add any optional seasonings you like.
- Once the waffle maker is hot, pour half of the egg and cheese mixture onto the waffle maker.
- Close the waffle maker and cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden brown and crispy.
- Repeat with the remaining egg and cheese mixture to make the second chaffle.
For the Burger:
- Season the ground beef with salt and pepper, and form it into a patty slightly larger than the chaffles, as they will shrink when cooked.
- Cook the burger patty to your desired doneness, either on a grill, stovetop, or in a skillet.
- If using cheese slices, place them on top of the burger patty during the last minute of cooking to allow them to melt.
- Assemble your chaffle burger by placing the cooked burger patty with cheese (if using) between the two chaffles.
- Add your favorite burger toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, or any sauces you like.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-carb chaffle burger!
Feel free to customize the recipe according to your preferences, such as adding bacon, avocado, or different types of cheese. Enjoy your tasty, keto-friendly meal!
