Preparation Method
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, shredded cheddar, ground flaxseed, and baking powder until well combined to form the batter.
Preheat your waffle iron.
Once hot, lightly grease the plates and sprinkle half of the grated Pecorino Romano cheese directly onto the bottom plate.
Pour the batter evenly over the cheese on the waffle iron. Quickly top with the sliced olives and the remaining Pecorino Romano cheese.
Close the waffle iron and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown, crispy, and steam is no longer escaping from the sides.
Carefully remove the chaffle and let it cool on a wire rack for a minute to maximize crispiness before serving. This recipe makes 2 chaffles.
Don't skip sprinkling cheese directly on the waffle iron! This creates a fantastic, crispy cheese crust on the outside that is absolutely irresistible.
