Step-by-Step Instructions for Low Carb Grilled Cheese Chaffle
  1. Preheat your mini waffle maker until hot, indicated by steam escaping.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the egg, then mix in garlic powder and shredded cheddar cheese until creamy.
  3. Pour half of the batter into the preheated waffle maker, covering the surface evenly. Cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Remove the first chaffle and repeat with the remaining batter to make the second chaffle.
  5. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter until foamy, creating a golden layer for grilling.
  6. Place one chaffle in the skillet, layer with American cheese, and top with the second chaffle to form a sandwich.
  7. Grill the sandwich for 1 minute until golden brown, then flip and grill for another 1-2 minutes.
  8. Transfer to a cutting board, cool slightly, then slice in half and serve warm.
