Step 1: Preheat the Waffle Maker
Begin by preheating your mini waffle maker. This ensures it’s hot and ready for cooking once your ingredients are prepared.

Step 2: Prepare the Chaffle Mixture
In a small bowl, crack an egg and whip it until the yolk and white are fully combined. Add tuna, cheese, and a pinch of salt to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.

Step 3: Optional Step for a Crispy Crust
For an extra crispy chaffle, sprinkle a teaspoon of cheese onto the preheated waffle maker. Allow it to cook for about 30 seconds before adding the tuna mixture. This step helps create a delicious crispy crust when the chaffle is finished.

Step 4: Cook the Tuna Chaffles
Spoon half of the tuna mixture onto the waffle maker, closing the lid gently. Cook for a minimum of 4 minutes, or until the chaffle is set and golden brown. Carefully remove the cooked chaffle from the waffle maker.

Step 5: Cook the Second Chaffle
Repeat the process with the remaining half of the tuna mixture, cooking it for another 4 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove, let it cool slightly, and then serve hot.
