Keto Grilled Cheese Chaffles are a simple and tasty way to enjoy grilled cheese while maintaining a low-carb diet. Create these chaffles with eggs, cheese, & almond flour rather than bread, resulting in a crispy, golden “chaffles” that is both keto-friendly and tasty. The surface becomes crunchy while the center remains soft, providing the ideal base for a gooey melted cheddar filling in the waffle machine. You may keep it simple with cheese or get creative by adding bacon, avocado, or turkey pieces. Serve these Keto Grilled Cheese Chaffles with keto tomato soup or salad for a delicious lunch.

INGREDIENT NOTES:
EGGS:
- The egg ties the components together and provides the chaffles’ structure. It adds protein while maintaining a light and fluffy texture. The batter would not retain its shape without it.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- Mozzarella cheese melts smoothly and produces the traditional chaffles texture. Its mild flavor is suitable as a neutral basis. It also provides crisp edges when fried in a waffle machine.
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond flour adds heft and makes the chaffles more bread-like. It reduces the carbs in the dish when compared to wheat flour. The nutty flavor also helps to balance out the cheese’s richness.
BAKING POWDER:
- Baking powder helps the chaffles puff up slightly while cooking. It adds bulk and a bread-like texture. The chaffles would be thinner and denser without it.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- Cheddar cheese is pungenut and savory, making the filling thick and sticky. It melts well for the traditional grilled cheese pull. Its strong flavor complements the gentle chaffles base.
BUTTER:
- Butter provides the golden, crispy crust of a grilled cheese sandwich. It also increases flavor and richness. Cooking the chaffles in butter improves both flavor and texture.
