Chaffle Ingredients
- 1/2 cup frozen shredded hashbrowns (thawed and squeezed dry)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon almond flour (optional for extra crisp)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or a bit of oil for greasing
- Prep Your Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions and spray it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the thawed and well-drained hashbrowns, one large egg, shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese, optional almond flour for extra crispiness, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until well combined.
- Cook: Pour half of the hashbrown mixture into the center of the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Repeat: Carefully remove the cooked chaffle from the waffle maker, then pour the remaining mixture in and cook the second chaffle using the same method.
- Serve: Enjoy the hashbrown chaffles plain or add your favorite toppings such as sour cream, green onions, or avocado for a tasty breakfast or snack.
Notes
- Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the thawed hashbrowns to help the chaffle crisp up better.
- Almond flour is optional but adds extra crispness and structure to the chaffle.
- Feel free to customize the cheese type to your preference for different flavor profiles.
- Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your waffle maker model.
- Leftover chaffles can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster or oven for best texture.
