Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk 2 large eggs until frothy. Add 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup almond flour, 1/4 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
  2. Step 2: Heat a chaffle maker to medium-high (375°F) and lightly grease with butter. Pour half the batter into the center of the bottom plate and spread evenly to cover the surface. Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown and firm.
  3. Step 3: Carefully remove the chaffle and top with 4 slices cooked bacon and 1/2 sliced avocado. Add 1 tbsp sour cream for extra creaminess.

Total time is about 17 minutes (10 min prep + 7 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a busy morning; prep components the night before to save active time.

How do I store leftover Bacon and Avocado Chaffle?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven; egg- or grain-based items may need a splash of milk or water to refresh texture. Cold-served items (overnight oats, smoothies) keep 2–3 days in the fridge.

Can I substitute ingredients in Bacon and Avocado Chaffle?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Bacon and Avocado Chaffle for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 1 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 1). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.

Is Bacon and Avocado Chaffle low-carb?

Yes — this recipe is tagged low-carb, keto based on its ingredient list. Always cross-check labels for packaged ingredients (sauces, broths, condiments) since formulations vary by brand.
