Ingredients for Keto Savory Waffles

• 120 g almond flour (finely ground works best)
• 3 large eggs
• 80 g grated hard cheese (cheddar or gouda)
• 40 g butter, melted
• 100 ml heavy cream (30–33%)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt
• Black pepper to taste

Optional (highly recommended):

• Bacon crumbles — 40 g
• Green onions — 10 g
• Spinach — 30 g (well squeezed)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly frothy. Add the heavy cream, melted butter, and grated cheese, mixing until well combined. Sprinkle in almond flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until a thick, smooth batter forms.
2. Let the batter rest for 3–5 minutes. This step is important — almond flour absorbs moisture and thickens the batter, which helps the waffles hold their shape.

3. Preheat your waffle maker and lightly grease it if necessary. A good non-stick waffle maker helps the waffles cook evenly and release easily. Spoon the batter evenly to make four large waffles. Cook each waffle for 3–4 minutes, or until deeply golden and crisp on the outside.

4. Remove carefully and allow to cool slightly before serving. The waffles firm up as they rest and become easier to handle.
