Ingredients
  

1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

2 large eggs

¼ cup almond flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon onion powder

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)

Cooking spray or a little melted butter for greasing the waffle maker

Instructions
 

Preheat your waffle maker: Plug in your waffle maker to preheat while you prepare the batter.

    Mix the ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded pepper jack cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and chopped chives (if using). Mix well until fully combined and you have a thick batter.

      Grease the waffle maker: Lightly grease the waffle maker plates with cooking spray or melted butter to prevent sticking.

        Cook the chaffle: Pour half of the batter onto the preheated waffle maker and close the lid. Cook according to your waffle maker's instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden and crispy.

          Repeat with remaining batter: Carefully remove the first chaffle and repeat the process with the remaining batter.

            Serve warm: Once all the chaffles are cooked, serve them warm. They make a great savory snack on their own or can be served as a base for toppings like avocado, salsa, or even eggs for breakfast!
