Chaffle burger
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
For the Chaffles:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheddar)
- 1/4 cup almond flour (optional, for extra texture)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for fluffiness)
For the Burgers:
- 1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 4 slices cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite)
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Pickles
- Red onion slices
- Condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, etc.)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chaffle Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the shredded cheese, almond flour (if using), and baking powder (if using). Mix well until combined.
- Cook the Chaffles:
- Preheat your waffle maker.
- Lightly grease the waffle maker with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
- Pour the chaffle batter into the waffle maker, making sure not to overfill. Cook until the chaffles are golden brown and crispy, usually about 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the chaffles and set aside. Repeat until all the batter is used, making 8 chaffles.
- Prepare the Burger Patties:
- In a bowl, mix the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape into patties.
- Cook the Burger Patties:
- Heat a skillet or grill to medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheese on each patty and cover the skillet or grill to melt the cheese.
- Assemble the Chaffle Burgers:
- Place a chaffle on a plate, add a lettuce leaf, a burger patty with melted cheese, tomato slices, pickles, and red onion slices. Top with another chaffle.
- Repeat for the remaining burgers.
- Serve:
- Serve immediately with your favorite condiments on the side.
