Equipment
- Waffle Iron
Ingredients
Hashbrown Chaffle Batter
- 2 cups shredded hash browns thawed if frozen
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 medium onion grated
- 2 tbsp gluten-free all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt to taste
- ½ tsp black pepper to taste
For Cooking
- butter or cooking spray for greasing the waffle iron
Instructions
- Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions. Lightly grease with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded hash browns, beaten eggs, shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses, grated onion, gluten-free flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Scoop a portion of the mixture onto the center of the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove the chaffle from the waffle iron and place it on a wire rack to cool slightly. Repeat the process with the remaining batter.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with your favorite toppings such as avocado slices, poached eggs, or salsa.
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute the cheeses with dairy-free alternatives. You can also add chopped vegetables like bell peppers or spinach to the batter for added flavor and nutrition.
