Preparation Method
Preheat your mini waffle maker until the indicator light shows it's ready.
Arrange the cheese curds in a single, even layer across the bottom plate of the waffle maker.
Don't overfill, as the cheese will spread as it melts.
Close the lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden brown, crispy, and steam is no longer coming from the sides.
Carefully remove the chaffle with a silicone spatula and let it rest on a wire rack for a minute to firm up.
Serve immediately, topped or dipped with your ketchup.
Don't lift the lid too early!
Let the chaffle cook undisturbed for at least 5 minutes to allow a proper crust to form.
Mix in seasonings like garlic powder, smoked paprika, or dried herbs with your cheese curds before cooking for a flavor boost.
