Ingredients

3 Tbsp

Almond Flour

1 large

Large Egg

1/3 cup

Cheddar Cheese

shredded, plus extra for garnish

1/2 Tbsp

Mayonnaise

1/4 tsp

Kosher Salt

1/4 tsp

Black Pepper

Quail Eggs

chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the waffle iron.

In a medium sized bowl, add the almond flour, egg, cheddar cheese, mayonnaise and salt and pepper and mix well to combine. The texture will be thick.

Once the waffle iron is hot, add half the batter and close the lid. Cook for about 4 minutes, until the waffle is cooked through and releases. Remove and repeat with the remaining batter.

While the waffle is cooking, heat a small skillet over medium heat and add any oil (if needed). Once hot, add the eggs and cook until the whites are set and the yolk is still runny.

Add the waffles to a plate, top with the fried eggs, chives and salt and pepper. Enjoy!

Substitutions: No quail eggs, use 1 large egg instead. No almond flour: use all purpose flour, or gluten free all purpose flour. No fresh chives: use green onion, or another fresh herb instead.
