About
These Keto Cheese Waffles with Egg and Prosciutto make for a protein-packed breakfast that can also be taken on the go. A cheesy batter made from blending eggs and mozzarella cheese is poured into a small waffle iron. This layer is topped with a piece of prosciutto and a sprinkling of more mozzarella cheese. The result is a crispy, meaty, salty waffle that will surely hit your Keto cravings just right! They would even be delicious topped with maple syrup if you were looking for a sweet and salty combo.
How can I save leftover waffles?
The waffles hold up wonderfully to being frozen. Simply place them into a freezer zip lock bag and then into the freezer. Once ready to reheat, put them in a toaster oven or in the microwave.
Can I use other types of cured meats?
Yes! Feel free to use other kinds of cured meats like coppa, salami, soppressata, and more. The trick is to trim the cured meat down to the size of the waffle iron.
What kind of eggs should I use?
Pasture-raised eggs are the most nutritious eggs as they are high in omega 3 fatty acids and can have up to almost twice the amount of Vitamin E compared to conventional eggs.
Serving suggestions
Pair these Keto Cheese Waffles with an on-the-go biscuit-like these Keto Bacon and Pepper Jack Drop Biscuits:
Ingredients
- 3 large raw egg
- 2 cup, shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz prosciutto
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- To begin, plug in a mini waffle iron and allow it to come up to temperature while you prepare the waffle batter.
- Blend the eggs and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese together with an immersion blender or mini food processor until smooth. Have the prosciutto at hand ready to go as well as the butter which has been melted in a small bowl. The prosciutto will need to be cut in half.
- Brush the waffle iron with little butter using a silicone brush.
- Sprinkle about one teaspoon of the remaining mozzarella cheese onto the waffle iron.
- Pour on enough batter to barely cover the iron. Remember when the lid closes the batter will spread.
- Top the batter with a half piece of prosciutto and another sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
- Close the waffle iron and allow it to cook for 2 minutes.
- Remove the waffle from the iron and repeat this process six more times.
