Ingredients
- 1/2 cup keto chaffle mix
- 1/4 cup, shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices, cooked and crumbled bacon
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp, finely sliced green onions
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Step 1: Whisk 2 large eggs with 1/4 tsp garlic powder in a bowl until fully combined, then stir in 1/2 cup keto chaffle mix and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese until a thick batter forms.
- Step 2: Lightly grease a chaffle maker with cooking spray, then spoon half the batter (about 1/3 cup) into the center of each plate. Press gently with a spatula to spread evenly.
- Step 3: Cook for 5-6 minutes on medium-high heat until golden brown and crisp around the edges, checking at 4 minutes to prevent burning.
- Step 4: Remove from chaffle maker, immediately top with 4 cooked crumbled bacon slices and 2 tbsp sliced green onions. Press another layer of batter on top for a double-layered chaffle, then cook an additional 3-4 minutes until golden.
- Step 5: Let cool for 1 minute before cutting into wedges to set the cheese, then serve immediately.
