Ingredients:
2 large eggs
1 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons almond flour
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Pinch of black pepper
Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained)
Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped kalamata olives
Instructions:
Preheat your mini waffle maker to medium-high heat.
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Add the shredded mozzarella, almond flour, crumbled feta, dried herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Fold in chopped parsley and optional sun-dried tomatoes and olives if using.
Lightly brush the waffle maker surfaces with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Pour approximately 3-4 tablespoons of batter into the center of the waffle maker (about half the batter for a standard mini waffle maker).
Close the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
Carefully remove and repeat with remaining batter.
Allow chaffles to cool on a wire rack for 1-2 minutes to firm up.
