This Turkey Bacon Avocado Chaffle Sandwich recipe makes for a quick, easy and low-carb lunch.  We use crispy, cheesy and keto-friendly chaffles instead of bread to give the classic sandwich a fun new twist.

Meet the new Keto/low carb craze – the chaffle.  A basic chaffle is made with just two ingredients – eggs and cheese.  Sounds weird but trust us – these are absolutely delicious!  They are cooked in the waffle iron and come out tasting like, well, cheesy waffles.

Turkey Bacon Avocado Chaffle Sandwich

We decided to take the basic chaffle and toss in some diced pickled jalapenos, then pair it with our favorite sandwich ingredients to give you the Turkey Bacon Avocado Chaffle Sandwich.  

We like to use just the egg whites so that the chaffles don’t have any eggy flavor to them.  Instead they just taste like crispy, cheesy delicious waffles and they make the most amazing sandwiches!  

This particular sandwich is made with a smear of Laughing Cow Cheese, sliced turkey, bacon and avocado for a yummy high-protein and low carb lunch.  But, you can mix and match and really turn just about any of your favorite sandwiches into chaffle sandwiches.

Easy Chaffle Recipe Ingredients

  • Egg Whites – this is what truly holds it all together.  We like to use just the whites so you don’t get any of the “eggy” flavor.  You can save the yolks for another use, or just discard.
  • Shredded Cheese – you’ll need ¼ cup of shredded cheese for each chaffle.  We like to use cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese and recommend buying the blocks and grated it yourself.  Pre shredded cheese will definitely work, but it has anti-clumping ingredients that don’t allow it to melt quite as well.
  • Diced Pickled Jalapeños – this is optional but it adds an amazing bit of spice for these Turkey Bacon Avocado Chaffle Sandwiches.  You can find them in the jar at the grocery store.
  • Garlic Salt – again, this is optional but it adds an amazing flavor.
  • Optional: if you want the chaffles to have a little more of a “bready” texture, but still be Keto-friendly, try adding a couple teaspoons of coconut flour or almond flour.

Turkey Bacon Avocado Chaffle Sandwich Ingredients

  • Laughing Cow Cheese – you can also use cream cheese.
  • Deli Turkey – any type will work great, or even substitute ham.
  • Bacon – our favorite hack is to buy precooked Costco bacon and toss it into the microwave for about 30 seconds.  It will crisp right up!
  • Tomatoes – any type, sliced thin.
  • Avocado – sliced or spread.
  • Spinach – you can also use lettuce.
  • Salt – we like to pre season both the tomatoes and avocados with a little sea salt before adding to the sandwich.
how to make a chaffle

How to Make a Chaffle

  1. Preheat a small waffle iron.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, add the egg whites, shredded cheese and diced jalapeños (if using). Mix well with a fork.
  3. Once it’s hot, spray the waffle iron with non-stick cooking spray and add about half of the egg mixture then sprinkle with garlic salt.
  4. Close the waffle iron and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the chaffle is crispy and golden brown.  Remove it from the waffle iron, set aside and repeat with the remaining egg mixture. 

Chaffle Making Tips

  • Chaffles freeze great so if you’ve got the time and energy to make a huge batch, go for it!  Then you can just pull from the freezer, pop in the toaster and voila!
  • Make sure your chaffle maker is nice and hot before adding the mixture.
  • We recommend shredding your own cheese rather than using pre shredded because it melts much better.
  • Do not overfill the waffle maker!

Can I Freeze Chaffles?

haffles freeze wonderfully!  Just make sure they are completely cooled and store in freezer bags.  You can pop them out as needed and toss in the toaster for a super quick and easy chaffle sandwich.

What is the Best Kind of Cheese to Use?

ou want to use a cheese that can be shredded, but beyond that, you can feel free to experiment on your own.  We have found our favorites to be mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, Pepper Jack cheese or a mixture of types.  

Which Waffle Maker Should I Use?

We really like the 4-inch Dash Mini Waffle Iron.  They are the perfect size for making chaffles and are pretty inexpensive.  You can use a regular waffle iron but the yield for this particular recipe will be slightly different because of the smaller size.
