Ingredients

For the Waffle Batter

1 cup almond flour
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 large eggs
¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup diced jalapeños (fresh or pickled)

For the Filling

8 slices cooked bacon chopped
½ cup cream cheese softened
¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Waffle Iron: Plug in your waffle iron and let it preheat while you prepare the batter.
Prepare the Waffle Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded cheddar cheese, baking powder, and salt. Mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and almond milk together until fully combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick batter forms. Gently fold in the diced jalapeños.
Cook the Waffles: Lightly grease the waffle iron with cooking spray or melted butter. Pour an appropriate amount of batter onto the waffle iron (about 1/2 cup) and close the lid. Cook according to the manufacturer's instructions until golden brown and crispy, usually about 4-5 minutes. Repeat until all batter is used.
Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, chopped bacon, and shredded cheddar cheese until well combined. If desired, add chopped cilantro for an extra layer of flavor.
Assemble the Sandwiches: Once the waffles are cooked, remove them from the waffle iron and let them cool slightly. Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture on one waffle, then top with another waffle to form a sandwich. Repeat this process for all sandwiches.
Serve: Enjoy your Jalapeño Cheddar Keto Waffle Sandwiches warm. They can be served with a side of avocado or a dollop of sour cream for added richness.

Notes

For a spicier kick, use fresh jalapeños instead of pickled. These waffles can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the toaster for a quick meal. Feel free to customize the filling with your favorite ingredients, such as diced bell peppers or different cheeses.
