Notes
For even crispier edges, try cooking a minute longer. Make a double batch for meal prep! If you prefer a cheesier chaffle, add more cheese to the mix. Experiment with different cheese types for varied flavor profiles—like mozzarella or pepper jack. Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and no sticking!
