INGREDIENT NOTES:
EGGS:
- Eggs made the chaffles foundation, which give it structure and hold the cheese together. They also contribute high-quality protein and healthy fats, both of which are necessary for a ketogenic diet. Use large, fresh eggs for reliable results.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- Chaffles get their satisfyingly crispy texture from the mozzarella. It melts exquisitely and adds a subtle flavor that enhances without dominating the BLT toppings. You can use cheddar or a cheese combination in place of mozzarella if you prefer a stronger flavor.
BAKING POWDER:
- Baking powder gives the chaffles a little lift and makes it fluffier rather than thick although it is not required. Despite being a little ingredient, it significantly alters the texture. Don’t se expire or old baking powder as the chaffles will rise properly.
GARLIC POWDER:
- This gives the chaffles a modest flavor boost without adding more carbohydrates. It can add savor and satisfaction to the base although it is entirely optional.
BACON:
- The smoky, salty crunch of bacon makes a BLT enticing. Use sugar-free bacon to be keto-friendly and stay away from hidden carbohydrates. Turkey bacon is also a nice alternative to make these sandwiches.
TOMATOES:
- Select ripe, firm tomatoes for optimal texture and flavor. It counterbalances the richness of the cheese and bacon with the freshness and juiciness of the tomatoes.
LETTUCE:
- Lettuce adds crispness and a cool contrast to the more substantial ingredients. The most common options are iceberg or romaine lettuce because of their crisp texture. You can alternatively use butter lettuce.
AVOCADO:
- Avocado is a keto super food because it contains fiber and good monounsaturated fats that keep you feeling full. It balances the bacon’s saltiness by giving the sandwich a creamy texture. Sprinkle black pepper & salt on slices of avocadoes for added taste before assembling.
SEASONING:
- Seasoning is essential to bring out all the flavors in this recipe. It taste better with a salt and black pepper. You may also try adding some chili flakes or smoked paprika if you prefer a little spiciness.
