Description
This Low Carb Waffle Egg is a quick, protein-packed breakfast made with egg and shredded cheese, cooked to crispy perfection in a waffle maker. It’s low in carbs, rich in flavor, and ready in minutes — ideal for keto-friendly meals or fast weekday mornings.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 120 g shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or preferred variety)
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle maker to medium-high heat and lightly grease if necessary.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg until fully blended and slightly frothy.
- Mix in shredded cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly combined.
- Place the mixture in the center of the waffle maker and spread gently.
- Close the lid and cook for 3–5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Carefully remove and let rest 1–2 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use a sharper cheese like aged cheddar.
- If the waffle sticks, allow it to cook slightly longer — cheese releases more easily once browned.
- Avoid overfilling the waffle maker to prevent overflow.
- Letting it rest briefly after cooking helps it firm up and hold its shape.
