Variations to the traditional chaffle recipe

  • I have found they are best when made with just an egg white instead of the entire egg.
  • Add a tsp of coconut flour or a tablespoon of almond flour along with 1/4 tsp baking powder and a pinch of salt.
  • Thinly chopped peppers, onions, or jalapenos can add flavor and texture.

Egg Fast Fettucine Alfredo (1 serving)

Pasta:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 oz cream cheese
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Sauce:

  • 1 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1 tbs grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbs butter

 

For the pasta:

  1. Blend the eggs, cream cheese, salt, garlic powder, and pepper in a magic bullet or blender.
  2. Pour into a butter-greased 8 x 8 pan.
  3. Bake at 325 for 10-12 minutes or until just set.
  4. Remove and let cool for about 5 minutes.
  5. Using a spatula, gently release the sheet of “pasta” from the pan.
  6. Roll it up and slice with a sharp knife into 1/8-inch-thick slices.

  1. Combine the mascarpone, parmesan cheese, and butter in a small bowl.
  2. Microwave on high for 30 seconds.
  3. Microwave on high another 30 seconds.

  6. Serve immediately with more freshly ground black pepper if desired.

 

As an alternative to the mascarpone, you can make this sauce in the same method with 2 oz cream cheese, 2 tbs heavy whipping cream, 1 tbs parmesan, 1 tbs butter – although not technically legal on the Egg Fast due to the heavy whipping cream.  If it’s what you have on hand, and go for it!
