Description
Ham and Cheese Chaffles are a delightful fusion of crispy, golden-brown edges and a gooey, cheesy center. Each bite offers a savory explosion of flavor, with the saltiness of the ham perfectly complementing the rich, melted cheese, creating a satisfying texture that is both crunchy and soft.
Ingredients
Scale
- Chaffle Batter:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 large eggs

Notes
