About This Recipe
Craving an everything bagel without the carbs? This keto chaffle stack brings all the brunch vibes: crispy “bagel” chaffles layered with lemon-dill cream cheese, silky smoked salmon, and creamy avocado. It’s grain-free, satisfying, and ready in about 10 minutes.
Ingredients
For the chaffles
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (low-moisture, part-skim)
- 2 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tsp everything bagel seasoning, plus extra for topping
- Avocado oil spray or butter for the waffle maker
For the stack
- 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of lemon zest
- 1 tsp chopped fresh dill (optional)
- 2 oz smoked salmon
- 1/2 ripe avocado, sliced
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Lemon wedge, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat a mini waffle maker. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, mozzarella, almond flour, and everything bagel seasoning until smooth.
- Lightly oil the waffle plates. Spoon in half the batter and cook 3–4 minutes until deeply golden and crisp. Repeat with remaining batter to make 2 chaffles.
- In a small bowl, mix cream cheese with lemon juice, lemon zest, and dill.
- Season the avocado slices with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Assemble: spread the lemon-dill cream cheese on both chaffles, layer with smoked salmon and avocado, and top with the second chaffle.
- Finish with extra everything bagel seasoning and a squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately.
