Carnivore Chaffle Burger Recipe

A Carnivore Chaffle Burger is a fantastic low-carb, high-protein meal, ideal for those following a carnivore or keto diet. It replaces traditional buns with chaffles (cheese and egg waffles), making it a perfect handheld burger option while staying in line with the carnivore diet’s focus on animal-based foods. Here’s how you can make your own Carnivore Chaffle Burger at home.

Ingredients:

For the Chaffle Buns:

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
• Pinch of salt

For the Burger:

• 1 lb ground beef (80/20 ratio for juiciness)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 slices of cheddar cheese (optional)
• 2-4 strips of cooked bacon (optional)

Instructions:

1. Make the Chaffle Buns:
   • Preheat your waffle maker to medium-high heat.
   • In a medium bowl, whisk the egg and add the shredded mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until everything is combined.
   • Lightly grease the waffle maker with non-stick spray or a little butter.
   • Pour half of the cheese mixture onto the waffle maker and cook until golden brown and crispy (about 4-5 minutes). Repeat with the remaining mixture to make a second chaffle.
   • Once done, remove the chaffles and set aside.
2. Cook the Burger Patties:
   • While the chaffles are cooking, season the ground beef with salt and pepper. Form the beef into 2 large patties (or 4 smaller ones, depending on your preference).
   • Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes per side for medium doneness, or longer if you prefer well-done. If you’re adding cheese, place a slice of cheddar on top of each patty during the last minute of cooking to melt.
3. Assemble the Burger:
   • Place one chaffle bun on the bottom of a plate.
   • Add a cooked beef patty on top, followed by the melted cheddar cheese (if using).
   • Optionally, add bacon strips for extra flavor and crunch.
   • Top with the second chaffle to complete your burger.

Tips:

• Customize the toppings based on your preferences, such as adding pickles or mustard (if you’re not strictly carnivore).
• For an extra crispy chaffle, you can cook it a bit longer in the waffle maker or toast the chaffle after it’s made.

This Carnivore Chaffle Burger is a satisfying and delicious way to enjoy a burger without the carbs!
