🛒 Ingredients

✓ 3 large eggs
✓ 2 large egg whites
✓ 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded
✓ 1 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
✓ 2 tbsp full-fat Greek yogurt
✓ 1/4 tsp garlic powder
✓ 1/4 tsp black pepper
✓ 1/8 tsp sea salt
✓ 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
✓ 2 slices crispy bacon, crumbled (optional)
✓ 1/2 avocado, sliced (optional)
✓ 2 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat Your Waffle Iron: Set a mini waffle iron (or full-size) to medium-high heat and allow it to warm for 3–4 minutes until it's hot enough that water droplets sizzle on contact.

2. Combine Wet Ingredients: Crack 3 large eggs and 2 egg whites into a mixing bowl. Whisk vigorously for 60 seconds until fully combined and slightly frothy; this aerates the mixture for fluffier chaffles.

3. Mix in Cheeses and Seasonings: Add 1 cup shredded cheddar, 1 cup low-fat mozzarella, 2 tbsp Greek yogurt, garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt to the egg mixture. Fold gently with a spatula until evenly distributed; do not overmix.

4. Brush and Pour: Lightly brush the preheated waffle iron grids with 1/2 tbsp melted butter. Pour half the batter into the center of the waffle iron (about 1/3 cup) and close the lid gently.

5. Cook Until Golden: Cook for 4–5 minutes without opening the lid. The chaffle is ready when the exterior is golden-brown and crispy and steam stops escaping from the edges. Repeat with remaining batter.

6. Transfer and Cool Briefly: Use a fork to gently release the chaffle from the iron and place on a wire rack for 1 minute to set. The bottom will crisp further as it cools.

7. Serve Warm: Stack chaffles on a plate while still warm. Top with crispy bacon, sliced avocado, smoked salmon, or a dollop of sour cream. Serve immediately for best texture.
