Preparation Method
Preheat your waffle maker to a medium-high setting.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
Stir in ¾ cup (about 85g / 3 oz) of the shredded Swiss cheese.
Sprinkle ¼ cup of the remaining Swiss cheese directly onto the hot bottom plate of the waffle maker to create a crispy base.
Pour half of the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the cheese layer.
Top the mixture with the final ¼ cup of cheese and arrange 5 slices of Serrano pepper on top.
Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until golden brown, crispy, and steam is no longer escaping.
Carefully remove the chaffle and repeat with the remaining to make the second serving.
Shred your cheese from a block. Pre-shredded cheeses often contain anti-caking agents that can prevent a perfect, crispy melt.
Don't overfill your waffle maker! The mixture will expand as it cooks.
Using half the batter per chaffle is perfect for a standard-sized machine.
