Preparation Method
Start by preheating your waffle iron to a medium-high setting.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, cooked bacon bits, and the large egg.
Mix thoroughly until everything is well incorporated.
Lightly grease the top and bottom plates of your hot waffle iron with cooking spray or a little butter.
Pour half of the mixture onto the center of the waffle iron and close the lid.
Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden brown, crispy, and the steam has mostly stopped.
Carefully remove the chaffle with a fork or spatula and repeat with the remaining mixture.
Serve immediately while hot.
Don't overfill your waffle iron. The cheese will spread significantly as it melts. Use about half the mixture per standard-sized waffle.
