Irregular golden cheddar chaffles with crisp lacy edges and a broken corner
TooGut pickFlexible, practical, genuinely delicious.

The chaffle earned its popularity because it is absurdly simple. Cheese against the iron makes the crust, egg binds the centre and a two-minute rack rest turns the steam-soft waffle crisp.

Ingredients

Serves4

Eight small chaffles

  • 240 gvintage tasty cheese, grated
  • 4 large eggs
  • 40 gfinely grated Parmesan
  • ¼ tspfine sea salt
One step at a time

Let’s cook.

Tick each step as you go. Built-in timers keep the important moments close.

Heat the iron properly

Preheat a small waffle iron until fully hot. Mix eggs, three-quarters of the cheddar, Parmesan and salt.

Cheese goes down first

Scatter a little reserved cheddar directly onto the iron. Spoon over enough egg mixture to cover loosely, then add another pinch of cheese.

Wait for the steam to slow

Close and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Open only when the steam has reduced and the edges look deep gold.

Cool into crispness

Transfer to a wire rack without stacking. Repeat with the remaining mixture and let every chaffle sit for 2 minutes before eating.
