Ingredients

Scale

Chaffle Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded for even melting)
  • 1 package tuna (packed in water or oil, drained well)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 pinch salt (to taste)

Instructions

  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.
  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.
  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.
  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.
  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.

Notes

  • Ensure the tuna is well-drained to avoid soggy chaffles.
  • Use shredded mozzarella for an even melt and better texture.
  • Preheating the waffle maker is essential for proper cooking and crispiness.
  • Adjust salt to taste, especially if using salted tuna or cheese.
  • Serve immediately for best texture; chaffles may soften if left to sit.
