Preparation Method
Preheat your mini waffle iron.
Once hot, lightly grease it with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg until smooth.
Stir in the shredded Swiss cheese, diced smoked ham, and finely diced serrano pepper.
Mix until all are thoroughly combined.
Pour half of the mixture onto the center of the hot waffle iron, spreading it slightly but not all the way to the edges.
Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden brown, crispy, and steam has stopped rising from the iron.
Carefully remove the chaffle with a fork or spatula and repeat with the remaining batter.
Serve immediately for the best texture.
Do not peek! Opening the waffle iron too early can cause the chaffle to split. Wait at least 3 minutes before checking for doneness.
