    I found no need to grease my waffle maker. The cheese has more than enough oil to prevent sticking.

    The text has been fixed, these are 5g net carbs per serving.

    The batter made 5 1/2 chaffles and the batter still oozed all over the place! I probably wuld have ended up with 6 chaffles without the over run. I didn't like the flavor of the chaffles but the topping was good. Next time I will use another chaffle recipe I like more but keep the topping the same. Except... I reduced the jalapeno peppers to 1.5 instead of 2 and it was a good decision.

    I find that a lot of recipes don't tell you to season your food when cooking. So don't forget to add seasoning. A little salt and pepper in the Chaffle before you put them in the waffle maker makes a difference.

    These are fantastic! Thank you! I did not need to grease the waffle maker either. This recipe made 4 chaffles, and everyone in the household loved them.
