# Tips from dashanddishes:
01 -
- Ready in 15 minutes from start to finish with ingredients you probably already have in your fridge
- The combination of sharp cheddar and salty ham creates the most incredible savory flavor profile
- Perfect for anyone missing bread on a low-carb lifestyle but still wants something satisfyingly crispy
02 -
- Letting the chaffles cool on a wire rack instead of a plate is crucial for keeping them crispy
- Do not open the waffle maker too early or you will tear the chaffle apart
- The batter should be thick and slightly lumpy, not smooth like traditional waffle batter
03 -
- Use freshly shredded cheese instead of pre-shredded for better melting and texture
- Let the batter sit for 2 minutes before cooking to let the almond flour absorb moisture
