Keto Grilled Cheese (with chaffles!)
This Keto Grilled Cheese is made with two easy chaffles for the perfect low-carb, grain-free comfort food meal! Just 4 net carbs for this cheesy, buttery sandwich.
Ingredients
- 2 keto chaffles linked below in notes and in post
- 1/3 cup shredded cheese any variety
- 2 teaspoons butter
Instructions
- Heat a skillet to medium low heat, then melt one teaspoon of butter. When the butter has melted, place one chaffle into the pan and top with shredded cheese. Make sure the cheese isn't too close to the edges of the chaffle to prevent the cheese from falling or burning.
- Place the second chaffle over the cheese and very gently press (don't flatten, just press enough so that much of the cheese is in contact with the chaffle). Cook for 6-8 minutes or until the chaffle is golden brown on the bottom.
- Carefully pick your sandwich up with a spatula and place the last teaspoon of butter in the pan. Once melted, flip the chaffle sandwich and return it to the pan, cooking for another 6-8 minutes. When the bottom is golden brown and the shredded cheese has melted in the center, remove from pan and serve immediately.
Notes
- I used these basic keto chaffles. They can be frozen and reheated later for easy meal prep.
- It's best to take a "low and slow" approach with grilled cheese. This gives the chaffle enough time to soak up the butter and become golden brown while also giving the cheese on the inside enough time to melt and become gooey. If your chaffles are cooking too quickly, you can cook with a lid on the pan to melt the cheese quicker.
