Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons (60 ml / 2 fl oz) chopped ham
  • 1/4 cup or 60g (2.12 oz) diced cooked chicken
  • 1/4 cup or 30g (1.06 oz) shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup or 30g (1.06 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • For an extra crispy exterior, sprinkle a little mozzarella directly onto the waffle iron before adding the batter and again on top before closing the lid.
  • Avoid overfilling the waffle maker, as the cheese will spread and the batter will expand as it cooks.
  • These chaffles can be made ahead! Store them in the refrigerator and reheat in a toaster or air fryer to bring back their perfect crisp texture.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat your mini waffle iron on a medium to medium-high setting until the indicator light shows it's ready.
  3. In a medium bowl, lightly whisk the egg.
  4. Add the chopped ham, diced chicken, shredded Swiss cheese, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
  5. Stir all the together until they are well combined into a thick batter.
  6. Spoon one-fourth of the batter onto the hot waffle iron, spreading it slightly. Close the lid and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden brown and steam is no longer coming from the iron.
  7. Carefully remove the finished chaffle with a silicone spatula and transfer it to a wire cooling rack. This helps it get extra crispy.
  8. Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make a total of four chaffles.
  9. Serve immediately.
  10. Letting the chaffles rest on a wire rack for a minute or two after cooking is the secret to achieving maximum crispiness.
