Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded for even melting)
- 1 pkg tuna (packed in water or oil, drained well)
- 1 egg (large)
- 1 pinch salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle maker to ensure it’s hot and ready.
- In a small bowl, crack the egg and whip it until yolk and white are combined. Add tuna, cheese, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
- Optional: Sprinkle 1 tsp cheese onto the preheated waffle maker for a crispy crust and cook 30 seconds before adding mixture.
- Spoon half of the tuna mixture onto the waffle maker, close lid gently, and cook for 4 minutes or until set and golden. Remove carefully.
- Repeat with the remaining mixture for the second chaffle. Let cool slightly and serve warm.
Notes
- Sprinkling extra cheese on the waffle maker before cooking gives a crispier edge.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
