One of my favorite ways to cook eggs is sunny side up so in this recipe I whipped up my favorite eggs on top of some chaffles to create this keto croque madame!
This tastes so good by itself, but I’ve added a bechemel sauce to really complete this breakfast!
Yields 4 servings of Keto Croque Madame
The Preparation
Chaffles:
- 2 large egg
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
Sandwich:
- 4 slice deli-sliced black forest ham
- 2/3 cup gruyere cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 4 large egg
Bechemel Sauce:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup gruyere cheese, shredded
The Execution
1. Measure out and prepare the ingredients. Preheat oven to 425F.
2. In a bowl, make the chaffles by whisking together the eggs and grated cheese.
3. Using a small waffle iron that is greased, make the chaffles.
4. On a parchment lined baking sheet, add the chaffles, topped with the deli sliced ham, and the shredded gruyere cheese. Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
5. While the chaffles are in the oven, fry up the eggs in a frying pan with butter. Then top the baked chaffle with the fried eggs.
6. In a saucepan on medium heat, make the bechemel sauce by adding the heavy cream. Slowly add in the parmesan cheese and gruyere cheese a small handful at a time and wait until it is melted before adding in more.
7. Drizzle the bechemel sauce on top of the chaffles, serve with a small side salad and enjoy!
