For the Chaffle Buns:
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- Optional: A pinch of garlic powder or onion powder for extra flavor

For the Burger Patty:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 lb ground pork

Instructions:
-
Make the Chaffle Buns:
- Preheat your mini waffle maker (or regular-size if you prefer) according to its instructions.
- In a bowl, whisk the egg, melted butter, and a pinch of garlic or onion powder (optional) until combined.
- Add the shredded mozzarella cheese to the mixture and stir until it’s all well-mixed.
- Pour the batter into the waffle maker (dividing it into two portions if making two buns) and cook for 3 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp. Carefully remove the chaffles and set them aside.
-
Prepare the Burger Patties:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, shredded cheese, Himalayan salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Form the meat mixture into burger patties, making sure they’re about the size of your chaffle buns.
-
Cook the Burger Patties:
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of ghee (or your preferred cooking fat).
- Once the ghee is hot, add the burger patties to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
- Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside.
-
Assemble the Burger:
- Place a cooked patty on top of one chaffle.
- Add your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, pickles, and condiments (if desired).
- Place the second chaffle on top to complete the burger.
-
Serve:
- Enjoy your juicy burger with the crispy chaffle buns! This combo makes for a keto-friendly, gluten-free, and low-carb alternative to regular buns.
Optional Toppings:
- Sliced avocado
- Bacon strips
- Sautéed onions or mushrooms
- A fried egg for an extra indulgent touch!
Notes:
- If you’re looking to make the chaffles even crispier, you can cook them a bit longer in the waffle maker or toast them in a skillet after they’re cooked.
- You can adjust the seasonings in the burger patty to your preference, such as adding garlic powder, paprika, or even a bit of mustard.
This recipe gives you a juicy burger with a flavorful chaffle bun that perfectly complements the savory taste of the meat and cheese. Enjoy your tasty creation!
