Method

  1. Preheat the waffle maker according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond flour, salt, and baking soda until smooth.
  3. Add 1 cup of shredded mozzarella to the egg mixture and stir until evenly coated.
  4. Pour about ½ cup of the batter into the center of the preheated waffle maker.
  5. Close the lid and cook until golden and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes.
  6. Carefully remove the chaffle and repeat with the remaining batter.
  7. Immediately top each chaffle with marinara sauce, the remaining ½ cup of mozzarella, and pepperoni slices.
  8. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan and serve warm.

💡 Tips

  • For extra crispiness, let the chaffles rest on a wire rack for a minute after cooking.
  • You can replace pepperoni with cooked sausage or mushrooms.
  • Serve immediately; chaffles soften as they cool.
