Ingredients
  

  • Cheddar Cheese, shredded – 1 ½ cups / 170g (6 oz)
  • Pancetta, diced and cooked crisp – ½ cup / 75g (2.65 oz)
  • Large Egg – 1
  • Almond Flour – 1 tbsp / 8g (0.28 oz)
  • Black Pepper, freshly ground – ¼ tsp
  • Use freshly shredded cheese from a block. Pre-shredded cheeses contain starches that prevent them from melting smoothly and getting extra crispy.
  • For the ultimate crisp, let the finished chaffle rest on a wire cooling rack for a minute before serving. This allows it to firm up perfectly.

Method
 

  1. Preparation Method
  2. Preheat your waffle iron to a medium-high setting.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheddar, cooked pancetta, almond flour, and black pepper until everything is well combined.
  5. Lightly grease the top and bottom plates of the hot waffle iron with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
  6. Spoon half of the mixture onto the center of the waffle iron, spreading it slightly but being careful not to overfill.
  7. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown, crispy, and steam is no longer visibly escaping from the sides.
  8. Carefully remove the chaffle and repeat with the remaining mixture.
  9. Serve immediately while hot and crisp.
  10. Don't be tempted to open the waffle iron too early. Wait until the steam has mostly stopped for a perfectly cooked, non-stick result.
