Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups / 170g (6 oz) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 16 slices pickled jalapeno
  • Pinch of black pepper, optional
  • For an extra crispy chaffle, let it rest on a wire cooling rack for a minute after cooking. This prevents it from getting soggy.
  • Avoid overfilling the waffle maker. The batter will expand as it cooks, and overfilling can cause a cheesy mess.
  • Chaffles can be made in batches and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster or air fryer to restore their crispiness.

Method
 

  1. Preparation Method1.
  2. Preheat your mini waffle maker until the indicator light shows it's ready. 2.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk the 2 eggs until smooth.
  4. Stir in ¾ cup (about 85g / 3 oz) of the shredded cheddar cheese and a pinch of black pepper, if using. 3.
  5. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) of the remaining cheddar cheese directly onto the bottom plate of the hot waffle maker. This creates a super crispy crust. 4.
  6. Pour half of the egg and cheese mixture over the cheese layer on the waffle maker. 5.
  7. Sprinkle another 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) of cheddar cheese over the top of the batter. 6.
  8. Arrange 8 jalapeno slices on top, close the lid, and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. The steam will reduce significantly when it's done. 7. Carefully remove the chaffle with a fork or spatula and repeat steps 3-6 with the remaining to make the second chaffle. 8.
  9. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
  10. While cheddar is classic, feel free to experiment with a mix of Monterey Jack or a spicy pepper jack for an extra kick.
