Ingredients you will need
To make egg waffles you actually only really need one ingredient, an egg! To make my version I like to add parmesan cheese, oh and a little oil to stop the egg waffle sticking.
Substitutes
- Egg: I'm sorry but this is an egg waffle recipe so you can't make it without an egg.
- Parmesan: I like to use powdered parmesan you can use any finely grated hard cheese or you can skip the parmesan altogether and just season the egg with salt and pepper.
- Oil: I like to use spray oil to grease my waffle iron, but you can brush on a little melted butter or brush on regular oil.

FAQs
Egg waffles are whisked eggs cooked in a waffle iron. In keto circles, they are often called chaffles.
I believe egg waffles can be a great way to serve eggs as finger food. The parmesan cheese I use to flavour the waffle is quite high in salt, for a baby starting their solids journey I would skip the parmesan and any salt.
Serve them as you would an omelette or scrambled eggs.
These egg waffles are plain and taste like a thin crispy omlette.
Each egg waffle contains approximately 100 calories.
If you are on the hunt for a more traditional waffle recipe, my healthy waffle recipe could be just the ticket, or if you are after an egg recipe for your little one my baby custard or baby french toast recipes are great as well.
