What is a Chaffle?
If you haven’t tried chaffles yet, you’re in for a treat. Short for “cheese waffle,” a chaffle is a low-carb, high-protein alternative to bread, made with just two ingredients—eggs and mozzarella cheese. It’s crispy, flavorful, and perfect as a base for a protein-packed breakfast sandwich.
How to Make Chaffles for a High Protein Breakfast
My Go-To Chaffle Recipe
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella
Using a fork, whisk the eggs and cheese together in a glass measuring cup. Then, pour the mixture straight into a mini waffle maker. Two minutes later—perfectly golden, crispy chaffles ready for your sandwich.
Prepping the High Protein Breakfast Fillings
Once the chaffles are done, it’s time to make the fillings for my high protein breakfast sandwich! My go-to combination? Scrambled egg patties and sausage patties.
The Easiest Way to Make Scrambled Egg Patties
Want a life-changing trick? Use your waffle maker to cook egg patties! Seriously!
- Crack an egg into a small bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper, and mix.
- Pour the egg into the waffle maker, close the lid, and set a timer for 2 minutes.
- Done! Perfectly cooked, no flipping needed.
I use one egg for each patty that I am going to make. This method gives you evenly cooked egg patties that fit perfectly inside your high protein breakfast sandwich.
Cooking the Sausage Patties
For the sausage, I use Jimmy Dean’s ground sausage, form it into patties, and cook them on my stovetop griddle. You could also use pre-made sausage patties for even quicker high protein breakfast prep.
Building the Ultimate High Protien Chaffle Breakfast Sandwich
Once the sausage and egg patties are ready, it’s time to assemble!
I layer a crispy chaffle, an egg patty, a juicy sausage patty, and a little mayonnaise and ketchup before topping it with another chaffle. And just like that—a high protein breakfast sandwich that’s filling, delicious, and easy to make!
My kids love these! My older daughter and I can each eat a whole one, but for my younger girls, I usually cut them in half.
Customizing Your High Protein Breakfast Sandwich
The best part of these chaffle breakfast sandwiches? You can switch things up to match your cravings!
- Instead of a scrambled egg patty, try a fried or poached egg.
- Swap the pork sausage for bacon, ham, or even chicken apple sausage or turkey bacon for a leaner high protein breakfast.
- Add extra toppings like cheese, avocado, tomato, or spinach—whatever makes your high protein breakfast dreams come true.
If you’ve been looking for a high protein breakfast that’s quick, satisfying, and seriously tasty, this chaffle breakfast sandwich is IT. Give it a try, and let me know what fun combos you come up with!
A chaffle breakfast sandwich is a high protein, low-carb alternative to traditional breakfast sandwiches. Instead of bread, it uses chaffles (cheese + egg waffles) as the base, making it a great option for keto, carnivore, and protein-focused diets.
Each chaffle breakfast sandwich packs about 28 grams of protein, depending on the fillings. Adding extra sausage, eggs, or cheese can increase the protein content even more.
A mini waffle maker (like the Dash Mini Waffle Maker) is perfect for chaffle breakfast sandwiches, as it creates the right size and thickness for sandwich layering.
