Tips to Help You Make The Best Chaffles
If you are ready to make this flavorful recipe and enjoy your next pizza night in a unique way, check out my favorite tips to help you make the best chaffles:
Let Them Rest
I know it’s tempting because it looks so good, but don’t rush it! Don’t bite into the chaffle as it comes off of the waffle iron. Allow it to sit for a minute or two before eating. The resting period allows the cheese on the exterior of the chaffle to crisp up before eating which adds to the chaffle experience.
Use Your Favorite Cheese
While mozzarella makes sense for making pizza chaffles, they are going to taste the best when you use your favorite cheese for them. It can be made with any cheese at all, so be sure and tailor your chaffle to your own preferences. You’ll like it better that way.
Avoid Using a Regular Waffle Iron
A regular waffle iron is great in many instances, but when it comes to chaffles, I have found that a mini waffle iron works much better than its larger counterpart.
