Eggplant waffles

[3momchaos]

Ok I know it sounds crazy, but I love eggplant parmigiana. This is a super scaled back, no red sauce or pasta included, version. Thinly sliced eggplant, a tablespoon of parmesan (like the kind you put on spaghetti), and a tablespoon of Italian shredded cheese. Wash the slice, dip it in the park, put it on a greased waffle maker, put shredded cheese on top, close waffle maker and set for 2 minutes. I like my cheese extra brown and crispy, so I did mine for almost 3 minutes. I don’t know the protein, calories, or fat, but it’s better than a deep fried hunk of eggplant LOL if you have a red sauce you like, you could dip this in that. I’ve been having fun with the waffle maker-as you can tell LOL

Dammit! I threw out the waffle maker I had last year, cuz who's making waffles all the time once they have the gastric bypass?!?! And now you guys are KILLING me with all the chaffles and now THIS. That looks so freakin' good I have to go buy a new one.

3mom, that looks great! I would have never thought of that one!

Missy, I threw mine away too but when I first started hearing about Chaffles I wanted one of the mini ones that would be just my size. I figured $10 wasn't bad. Speaking of which, I think I might make some more Chaffles tomorrow, it's been a while.

I made chaffles the other day with mushroom and leftover roasted brussel sprouts. They were delicious, and it’s good for me to add some veggies.

I just went and got the mini too. I certainly don't need a big one and it will be cool to have a new cooking toy to play with. Now I have to go find chaffle recipes.

My basic chaffle recipe is 1 egg and 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar. This makes 2 in the mini waffle maker. I’ve added mushrooms, brussel sprouts, cooked bacon, and pepperoni on different occasions when I’ve made them.

Missy, here are some recipes. There is also a facebook group called Chaffle Recipes that has a lot more in their file section. Let us know how you like them!

I keep hearing so much about Chaffles but had no idea what they were! Thank you Judy for posting the Chaffle recipes! Looks like I’ll be ordering a waffle maker from Amazon!

The Dash Mini Waffle Maker is $9.99 on Amazon and Target and is the perfect size.

That's the one I got. They have so many colors, you can match it to your kitchen AND they had a heart one (it cost more)

Yes, they even have a snowflake one and other holiday themed ones. I just got a regular one in the color red.

Oh, man. I got the waffle maker and made my first batch of chaffles, with zucchini. So, so good.
