First, preheat your waffle maker to make sure that it reaches temperature (no one wants a soggy chaffle!).
Then, crack the egg into a bowl and whisk up the egg so it’s blended well and fluffy.
Grate your cheese (or buy a pack of pre-shredded cheese). You can use any cheese you like, they all create a slightly different flavor so experiment.
Blend the cheese with your egg mixture and season with salt, pepper or any other herb you like. Or, add some spring onion and a spoonful of Greek yogurt for an extra-creamy version. If you like something hotter, try adding some tomato salsa or a dash of Worcester sauce for a stronger flavor. Like Italian? Make an Italian version chaffle! Simply replace your cheddar cheese for Mozzarella and serve it with a slice of Avocado and some sweet cherry tomatoes. (See below for more chaffle combinations).
Spray your waffle maker first with a little non-stick oil.
Once your chaffle mixture is blended well, take half of the amount and spread it evenly onto your waffle maker.
Then, sprinkle the top with a little extra grated cheese – the cheese goes all crispy and this adds to the flavor!
Set your waffle maker for 3 minutes (some people prefer their chaffle crispier, if this sounds like you then add on one extra minute).
Once it’s ready, remove it carefully from your waffle maker and allow it to cool a little.
Use the remaining mixture for your second slice.
