Here’s a delicious recipe for a Carnivore Chaffle Burger that combines the satisfaction of a juicy burger with a low-carb, carnivore-friendly twist on a bun. Chaffles (cheese waffles) serve as a savory, crispy alternative to traditional buns and bring a rich flavor that pairs perfectly with the beefy patty.
Ingredients
For the Chaffles:
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheese of choice)
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened
- 1 pinch salt (optional)
For the Burger:
- 1/3 lb ground beef (80/20 for a juicy patty)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 slice cheddar cheese (optional)
- 1 slice of bacon (optional)
- Mayo or butter for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the Waffle Maker
Preheat your mini waffle maker. - Prepare the Chaffle Batter
In a small bowl, whisk the egg. Add shredded cheese, softened cream cheese, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined. - Cook the Chaffles
Pour half of the chaffle mixture into the preheated waffle maker, cooking for 3-4 minutes until golden and crisp. Repeat with the remaining batter. Set both chaffles aside to cool slightly. - Cook the Burger Patty
Shape the ground beef into a patty and season with salt and pepper. Cook in a skillet over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Top with cheddar cheese, if desired, and let it melt. - Assemble the Burger
Place the burger patty on one chaffle, add toppings like bacon or mayo if desired, and top with the second chaffle. - Serve
Enjoy your carnivore chaffle burger immediately while warm!
Tips
- For an extra crispy chaffle, cook for a minute longer until it reaches your desired texture.
- Try other cheeses like Parmesan or Gouda for unique flavors!
