2 Ingredients Quick And Easy Carnivore Waffles 

I used to think breakfast was all about pancakes and sugary cereal until I discovered these amazing waffles. Made with just eggs and cheese, they’re crispy on the outside and so satisfying. And the best part? They’re super easy, super fast, and they keep me full until lunch.

If you’re watching your carb intake, these waffles are a great choice. They’re naturally low in carbs, thanks to the simple ingredients. Plus, they’ll keep you feeling full for hours, so you won’t be reaching for sugary snacks mid-morning.

I remember the first time I made them. It was Love at First Bite! And, who has time for a 10-ingredient and 20-minutes cook-time of breakfast nowadays? So, if you’re looking for a quick and easy breakfast that’s packed with protein, give this recipe a try.

I’ve even heard of people using these waffles as a base for other dishes, like breakfast sandwiches. And that’s what makes them so special, the versatility they bring to your morning table. You can top them on anything you like. I love adding a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of Everything But the Bagel seasoning.

Give these two-ingredient waffles a try, and get ready to have your mind blown. They’re the perfect way to start your day with a boost of energy and less kitchen time. 

Ingredients

Eggs

Eggs are the heart and soul of this recipe and here’s my secret for perfect egg-crack; tap it on the flat surface. These protein powerhouses, packed with nutrients and flavor, will give your waffles that perfect fluff and crisp balance. And as my grandma used to say, “eggs are a breakfast of champions”. 

Cheese

Cheese is the secret ingredient that takes these waffles to the next level. It adds a rich, creamy flavor and a beautiful golden-brown color. I once tried a waffle recipe that called for blue cheese, but I didn’t have it on hand. So, I got creative (or you could say usual) and used plain mozzarella, and it turned out even better than I expected!

Optional Seasonings

While these waffles are delicious on their own, you can add a little extra flavor with some optional seasonings. Salt and pepper are classic choices, but don’t be afraid to get creative. Garlic powder adds a savory kick, while parsley gives a fresh, herby taste.

Recipe

First things first, in a bowl, you want to whisk together your egg and cheese. Don’t forget to add a pinch of salt and pepper (or any seasonings you like). I once forgot the seasoning of my taste, and let me tell you, it was a bland experience. Luckily, a quick sprinkle of everything-but-the-bagel seasoning saved the day!

Now grab your waffle iron and preheat it. Once it’s nice and hot, give it a light spritz of non-stick spray – you want your beautiful golden waffles to slip out easily without any sticky drama.

Here comes the fun part! Pour about 1/4 cup of your eggy cheese mixture onto the preheated waffle iron. Don’t worry about making it perfect, a little unevenness just adds to the rustic charm.

Close the lid and let the waffle cook its magic for 3 minutes, or until it’s a beautiful golden brown. You can peek every now and then to see how it’s doing, but resist the urge to open it too early – that can make your waffle sad and deflate.

Once your waffle is perfectly golden brown, use a fork or tongs to carefully transfer it to a wire rack. This will help it stay crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Once you have created yourself a big batch to savor, drizzle it with your favorite toppings, and voila voila! (see my excitement there?)

You Like It Sweet? Or Sour? 

So, I’ve been playing around with these waffles, and it’s been a blast! You can go the classic sweet route with some berries and a drizzle of honey. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, you can go savory with a fried egg on top and maybe a little hot sauce.

With the sweet waffles, I like to get creative with toppings. One day it might be bananas and chocolate chips, the next it could be whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. It’s simple, but it’s a fun way to change things up.

Now, the savory waffles – that’s where things get really interesting. I’ve tried them with everything from smoked salmon and cream cheese to bacon and a fried egg. They’re the perfect base for whatever you’re craving. You can even turn them into a waffle sandwich with your favorite fillings.

Tips To Remember

Tip # 1 – Make Them Crispy

If you like extra crispy waffles, bake them for a few extra minutes. Keep an eye on them so they don’t burn!

Tip # 2 – Make Ahead For A Busy Day

Prepare the waffle batter the night before and store it in the refrigerator. This will save you time in the morning.

Tip # 3 – Make Them Fluffy

If you want fluffier waffles, make sure you separate the eggs and whip the whites until they form stiff peaks before folding them into the batter.

Variations

Sweet Chaffles:

Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of stevia to the batter. Serve with your favorite sugar-free syrup and berries.

Savory Chaffles:

Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the batter. Serve with your favorite savory toppings, such as bacon and eggs, avocado, or salsa.
