🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 large eggs (for chaffles)
✓ 1 cup reduced-fat sharp cheddar, finely shredded
✓ 1/2 tsp garlic powder
✓ 1/4 tsp black pepper
✓ 1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
✓ Pinch of sea salt
✓ 2 oz smoked turkey breast slices
✓ 4 large eggs (for poaching)
✓ 1 tsp white vinegar (for poaching water)
✓ 2 tbsp unsalted butter
✓ 3 large egg yolks
✓ 1/3 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
✓ 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
✓ 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
✓ Pinch of sea salt
✓ 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare Chaffle Batter: In a small bowl, whisk 2 eggs, 1 cup shredded cheddar, garlic powder, pepper, mustard, and salt until smooth. Let sit 2 minutes for cheese to fully incorporate.

2. Preheat Mini Waffle Iron: Heat a mini chaffle maker on medium-high for 3–4 minutes until a drop of water sizzles immediately. Lightly spray with cooking spray.

3. Cook the Chaffles: Pour half the batter into the iron. Close lid and cook 4–5 minutes until edges are golden and crispy. Transfer to plate. Repeat with remaining batter. Keep warm in a 200°F oven.

4. Warm Hollandaise Base: Melt 2 tbsp butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat and let cool 1 minute. Whisk in 3 egg yolks one at a time, stirring constantly to avoid scrambling.

5. Build Silky Hollandaise: Return saucepan to low heat. Slowly whisk in 1/3 cup Greek yogurt, lemon juice, cayenne, and salt. Cook 2–3 minutes, stirring gently, until sauce thickens and reaches 160°F on an instant-read thermometer. Remove from heat.

6. Poach the Eggs: Bring a shallow skillet of water to a gentle simmer with 1 tsp white vinegar. Create a gentle whirlpool, slide eggs in one at a time, and poach 3–4 minutes until whites set but yolks remain runny. Remove with a slotted spoon.

7. Warm Turkey Bacon: Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Cook 2 oz smoked turkey breast slices 1–2 minutes per side until warmed through and lightly crisped.

8. Plate & Garnish: Place one warm chaffle on each plate. Layer with turkey bacon, then a poached egg. Spoon hollandaise generously over top. Garnish with fresh chives and a pinch of cayenne. Serve immediately.
