A low-carb grilled cheese sandwich made with crispy cheddar cheese chaffles as the bread, assembled with American cheese and butter-grilled to golden perfection. This recipe is perfect for keto and low-carb diets offering a cheesy, satisfying, and quick-to-make snack or meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Chaffle Batter

  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 tsp garlic seasoning (Tone’s garlic powder recommended)

For Assembling and Grilling

  • 2 slices American cheese
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter (Kerrygold recommended)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chaffle Mixture: Heat your mini waffle maker. In a small bowl, combine the egg, garlic powder, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well to form the chaffle batter.
  2. Cook the Chaffles: Pour half of the batter into the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for about 4 minutes until the chaffle turns golden and is set. Remove and repeat with the remaining batter.
  3. Prepare the Pan for Grilling: Heat a pan over medium heat on the stove. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt completely to create a flavorful grilling base.
  4. Assemble and Grill the Chaffle Sandwich: Place one cooked chaffle in the pan, layer with the two slices of American cheese, then top with the second chaffle. Grill for about 1 minute on the first side.
  5. Finish Grilling and Serve: Flip the sandwich carefully and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until the cheese melts thoroughly and the chaffle is heated through. Remove and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick or well-seasoned waffle maker for easy removal of chaffles.
  • Adjust garlic seasoning to taste or substitute with onion powder for a different flavor.
  • American cheese melts smoothly, but feel free to experiment with mozzarella or provolone for variation.
  • Butter adds flavor and helps achieve a golden crust; use unsalted butter to control sodium content.
  • For a crispier chaffle, cook a little longer but monitor to prevent burning.
