Last week I dived into the chaffle world and bought a machine in Amazon for £18. It's very compact which I like. I made the attached - a cheese slice then a filling. They were lovely but a bit cheesy for breakfast. So I will be trying coconut flour and some food flavourings to get a more "sweet" taste.
I’m preferring cheddar, onion salt and mixed herb ones. The mozzarella and soft cheese ones taste very eggy to me and seem to take a lot longer to cook. Adding almond flour helps make the texture more waffle like and less omelette like.mozarella is nicely mild tasting for the sweet chaffles. But i think I prefer the savory ones, the cheesier the better.
I want to try the pizza ones next.
Runny yolks, indispensible. Runny whites, aaaaaargh!!!Runny eggs do NOT appeal to me.
I made two Chaffles yesterday and ate one. What’s the best way to reheat the leftover one today?
toaster i think.
although i can’t imagine one lasting long enough to go cold, in this house.
A substitute for jam omlettes without sugar - separate the eggs and whip the whites as if you were making meringue. Once that's ready give the yolks a bit of a whip then combine with the whites be folding in with a large metal spoon. Then use your combined mixture to the make the omlette, as its begining to set in the pan, put in whatever berries you have to hand so that they start to warm through. When set fold in half and serve, you could grill the top of the omlette if you want it cooked more. Just like magic the berries and the meringue of the whites make it taste sweeter. I frequently have this if I'm craving something sweet. Amazingly if you put tomato slices and cheese on top and grill it tastes savoury. Enjoy!Yes, this is good advice. I recall reading somewhere here a while ago someone complaining they had tried one of these recipes and it just came out like an omelette. If that's the case, I already have a pan that is perfect for making omelettes. I had been wondering about trying to make a substitute for a jam omelette using Erythritol. It is an irony of fate that before being obliged to eat VLC I never used sugar, but now I do rather crave sugar substitutes.
I tried some yesterday with coconut flour and they worked well. Had a nice crunch compared to the egg/cheese ones.
It was just one egg, a tablespoon of coconut flour and a little shredded mild cheese. I just mixed it and poured it in.Can you share your recipe please.
Hi Alexandra100I am seeing lots of mention of chaffles here. No shortage of recipes & instructions online, but do I really need a special waffle maker, or would a frying pan do? If the former, recommendations for good ones would be welcome.
Sorry, this project has gone on the back burner for now, perhaps forever, due to lack of time and motivation. Good luck with it!Hi Alexandra100
Like you I'm intrigued by all the posts about chaffles, and would love to have a go at making them. As you say the Dash waffle maker seems to be the best, but when I look on line at Amazon they don't have them in stock. Did you purchase one? If so, which one did you choose, and are you happy with it?
Best wishes
