Ingredients
• 1 large egg
• ½ cup (50g) shredded mozzarella cheese (low-moisture, part-skim works best)
• Optional add-ins:
– Sweet: 1 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup + ¼ tsp cinnamon
– Savory: 1 tbsp chopped chives + pinch of garlic powder
– Everything bagel: ½ tsp everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat waffle maker (mini or standard). Lightly grease if needed (many are nonstick).
- In a bowl, whisk egg. Stir in cheese and any add-ins until well combined.
- Pour mixture into center of waffle iron (use ~¼ cup for mini, ⅓–½ cup for standard). Close lid; cook 3–5 min until deep golden and crisp.
- Carefully remove with a fork (they’re fragile when hot!). Cool 1–2 min—they crisp up as they cool.
SERVING IDEAS:
• Sweet: Top with berries, whipped cream, or sugar-free chocolate chips.
• Savory: Use as a sandwich base with turkey, avocado, or fried egg.
• Breakfast: Serve alongside bacon or scrambled eggs.
