One of the most significant adjustments when starting a low carb or keto diet is finding suitable replacements for bread, buns, and handheld food such as sandwiches. With this savory chaffle bread recipe, you can make a very satisfying sandwich that will rival those of the best deli or cafe. This recipe works well a quick chaffle sandwich or as keto hamburger buns or even just toasted with butter for a snack.
Most keto or low carb bread is soft and doesn’t hold together well due to their lack of gluten. These have a great texture and work well for handheld sandwiches. The inclusion of cheddar cheese and garlic give your chaffle sandwich a bit of extra flavor, much like a seasoned sub bun.
The photos here show two savory chaffles with avocado mayo, tomatoes, turkey, lettuce, and a slice of cheddar jack cheese. For me, this makes a complete meal with balanced macros. If you are looking for a change of pace from mayonnaise, try our homemade sugar-free ketchup recipe.
Make your chaffle sandwich by choosing the fillings that you prefer, and that will meet your macro goals. One of the things I love about sandwiches and salads is that you can adjust the specific ingredients to achieve your goals for the day or meal.
How to Make Your Savory Chaffles
Plug your Dash Mini Grill in to preheat while you are preparing the batter. If you do not have a mini grill, you can use a mini waffle iron or cook like pancakes on a flat griddle. I do prefer the mini grill as it gives me a uniform size, and it is easier to achieve a consistent outcome.
Mixing this batter is simple. Mix wet ingredients until well blended, then add dry ingredients, mix well, and fold the cheese into the batter.
Cook by adding about two tablespoons of batter to the grill. Cook until the chaffle stops steaming. Cooking will take about 4 minutes. Open the grill and flip the chaffle over, close lid, and continue cooking for another 1 – 2 minutes.
Assembling Your Chaffle Sandwich
Pick your chaffle sandwich fillings from a variety of protein, carb and fat sources. Deli meats (watch for added ingredients) or leftover meats, carb friendly vegetables and cheese or mayo.
You can make your chaffle sandwich with hot chaffles as soon as you remove them from the grill. If you prefer, you can also use them cold. They toast well and freeze well too. I prepare them ahead and keep on hand in the refrigerator or freezer.
