Equipment

  • 1 Waffle Maker Essential for creating the chaffle base
  • 1 Small Mixing Bowl For preparing the chaffle batter
  • 1 Whisk To thoroughly combine batter ingredients
  • 1 Cooling Rack Crucial for allowing chaffles to crisp up after cooking
  • 1 Sharp Knife or Cookie Cutter For shaping the chaffles for aesthetic presentation (optional)

Ingredients
  

Main

  • 1 large egg
  • 3 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning divided
  • 1 teaspoon coconut flour
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 tablespoons smoked salmon cream cheese spread such as Philadelphia®
  • 1 teaspoon capers drained
  • 3 thin red onion slices

Instructions
 

  • Preheat a waffle maker according to manufacturer's instructions.
  • Whisk egg, 2 teaspoons bagel seasoning, coconut flour, and baking powder together in a small bowl. Stir in mozzarella cheese.
  • Pour 1/2 of the batter onto the waffle maker and spread it out from the center with a spoon. Close the waffle maker and cook until the chaffle reaches your desired doneness and waffle maker stops steaming, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove chaffle from waffle maker, place on a rack, and repeat process with remaining batter. Cool for several minutes to let them crisp up.
  • Spread each chaffle with 1/2 of the salmon cream cheese and garnish with remaining 1 teaspoon bagel seasoning, capers, and red onion. Cut out a circle in the center of the chaffle with a sharp knife or use a 1 1/2-inch round cookie cutter to make the chaffles look more authentic and fun.

Notes

For optimal crispness, ensure your waffle maker is fully preheated before adding batter. Avoid overfilling the waffle maker, as this can lead to uneven cooking and a soggy texture. Allowing the chaffles to cool completely on a rack is vital for achieving the desired crisp exterior. To enhance the flavor, consider adding a tiny pinch of garlic powder to the chaffle batter. For presentation, a sprinkle of fresh chopped dill or chives with the smoked salmon cream cheese would add both color and aromatic appeal. A light squeeze of lemon juice over the finished chaffle can brighten the overall profile.
