Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or preferred blend)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle maker.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg until frothy.
- Mix in shredded cheese, garlic powder (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Lightly grease the waffle maker.
- Pour the mixture into the waffle iron and spread evenly.
- Close the lid and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove and serve warm—plain, topped, or as a sandwich base.
Notes
- Mozzarella creates a gooey texture; sharp cheddar adds bold flavor.
- Add-ins like chopped bacon, herbs, or spices can personalize each batch.
- For a sweet version, skip the garlic and use cinnamon and keto sweetener.
- Works great in a mini waffle maker or full-size iron.
