Ingredients
- For the Chaffles:
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (or another low-point cheese)
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- For the Burger Patty:
- 4 oz lean ground beef (96% lean, or turkey for even fewer points)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- Toppings (Customize to taste):
- 1-2 leaves lettuce
- 1 slice tomato
- 1 slice red onion
- 1 tbsp sugar-free ketchup
- 1 tsp mustard
- Pickles, as desired
Instructions
- Make the Chaffles:
- Preheat a mini waffle maker and lightly spray it with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, shredded cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Pour half of the mixture into the waffle maker and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove and repeat with the remaining batter to make a second chaffle.
- Cook the Burger Patty:
- Season the ground beef with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Form it into a thin patty.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and spray lightly with cooking spray. Cook the patty for 3-4 minutes per side, or until it reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Assemble the Chaffle Burger:
- Place one chaffle on a plate as the base.
- Layer with lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, and the cooked burger patty.
- Top with ketchup, mustard, or your favorite zero-point condiments. Finish with the second chaffle as the top “bun.”
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve warm with a side salad, veggie sticks, or roasted sweet potato wedges (adjust points for sides).
Tips and Variations:
- Cheese Options: Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or Parmesan for the chaffles, but be mindful of points.
- Add More Flavor: Mix fresh herbs or a bit of grated Parmesan into the chaffle batter.
- Make It Spicy: Add jalapeño slices or sriracha mayo for a kick (adjust points for mayo).
- Meal Prep: Make chaffles in advance and reheat in a toaster or air fryer for a quick meal assembly.
