EQUIPMENT NEEDED

• Mini waffle maker (Dash mini works perfectly)

• 1 large egg
• 120g mozzarella cheese, shredded (½ cup)
• 15g almond flour (1 tablespoon)
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt

For the Filling:

• 2 slices bacon
• 1 large egg

1. 1. Preheat your mini waffle maker.
   2. Mix chaffle ingredients in a bowl until well combined.

      Cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
   4. Repeat with remaining batter for second chaffle.

1. 1. While chaffles cook, fry bacon in skillet until crisp.
      
      Usually takes 5-7 minutes.

1. 1. Remove bacon, cook egg in residual bacon fat.
      
      Look for set whites and runny yolk (or to preference).
   2. Assembly:
      • Spread mayo on bottom chaffle
      • Add cheese slice
      • Layer bacon (broken to fit)
      • Top with fried egg
      • Crown with second chaffle

CRUCIAL TIPS

• Don’t overfill the waffle maker – it’ll overflow.
• Let chaffles cool for 1 minute to achieve maximum crispiness.
• Use pre-shredded cheese for convenience, but freshly grated gives better melt.

STORAGE

• Chaffles keep 3 days refrigerated.
• Reheat in toaster for best results.
• Don’t pre-assemble – make fresh.

COMMON MISTAKES

• Opening waffle maker too soon (wait for steam to reduce).
• Using too much almond flour (makes them cakey).
• Skipping the baking powder (reduces fluffiness).

VARIATIONS

• Sausage patty instead of bacon.
• Add sliced avocado.
• Use different cheese varieties in chaffle batter.
• Spice it up with everything bagel seasoning.
