Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 large egg beaten well to incorporate air
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese plus extra for the griddle surface
- 1 tablespoon almond flour for structure and binding
- 1 teaspoon Everything Bagel seasoning plus more for topping
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese for topping and spreading
- Butter or cooking spray for greasing the waffle iron
- Optional toppings smoked salmon, fresh dill, sliced tomato, cucumber, or capers
Instructions
- Whisk the Egg: In a small bowl, beat the egg vigorously for about 30 seconds to incorporate as much air as possible.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the almond flour and Everything Bagel seasoning to the beaten egg, stirring until fully combined.
- Add the Cheese: Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese gently but thoroughly, making sure no flour pockets remain.
- Rest the Batter: Let the mixture sit for 1 minute to allow the cheese to soften slightly, which helps the chaffle hold together better during cooking.
- Preheat the Iron: Heat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly grease with butter or cooking spray.
- Add Cheese Base: Sprinkle a small handful of extra mozzarella directly onto the hot iron surface, creating a cheese layer about 1/8 inch thick.
- Pour the Batter: Spoon half of your batter mixture onto the cheese layer, spreading it gently to cover the iron evenly.
- Cook Until Golden: Close the iron and cook for 4-5 minutes until the edges are crispy and golden brown and the cheese is melted throughout.
- Remove and Repeat: Carefully transfer the finished chaffle to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter and cheese.
- Start with Cream Cheese: Spread a generous layer of cream cheese on top of each warm chaffle while it's still hot, allowing it to melt slightly.
- Sprinkle the Seasoning: Add another pinch of Everything Bagel seasoning directly on top of the cream cheese.
- Add Your Toppings: Layer with smoked salmon, fresh dill, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, or any other bagel-inspired toppings you enjoy.
