Keto Reuben Chaffle

 

Chaffles have been my go to since I started keto. I love breakfast food and while waffles can’t be eaten on the keto diet, these cheese waffles taste just as good as the regular thing!

I paired these chaffles with pastrami, Swiss cheese, a tangy dressing, and sauerkraut to emulate a Reuben without all the carbs!

THE PREPARATION

• 2 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 medium egg
• 3/4 cup swiss cheese, shredded

THE EXECUTION

1. Measure out and prepare all the ingredients.

2. Using olive oil, grease a waffle maker.

3. Grab a baking sheet and lay a wire rack over the baking sheet.

4. In a bowl, mix together the eggs and Swiss cheese.

5. In another bowl mix together the mayonnaise, tomato paste, dijon mustard, onion powder, hot sauce, and salt and pepper. Set this dressing aside.

6. Pour the chaffle mix into the waffle maker. Bake using the instructions and timer on the waffle maker or until golden brown.

7. Transfer to the cooling rack and let cool for 3-5 minutes. Cut the chaffles. Preheat oven to 350F.
