Chaffles

 So, I made chaffles today.

They're a take on waffles, obviously.

Cheese and egg.

Lots of variations possible.  The things I'm reading are somewhat misleading, in that they say that they taste just like a normal waffle.  Well, they don't.  They taste like what they are, egg and cheese.  But I LIKE that combination.  So, not a miss, but mislead just the same.

I made the 'basic' with mozzarella and egg ( 1/2 cup cheese to 1 large egg ratio) first.  Whisk the egg(s) in a bowl and add the cheese and mix.  Cook in a waffle iron.  I used a double batch and made 4 chaffles.  I then made a single batch with pepper jack cheese and some chopped ham.  

I'm using a mini waffle iron.  About a quarter cup of mix will fit in.  These don't spread like a waffle batter will, so you need to scootch it to the edges to get it all spread.  

All in all, I like them.  Again, they do NOT taste like a normal waffle.  You can put syrup on them, but I think they lend themselves more to a savory application, like maybe a sausage and cheese sandwich. I think they are worth making.

This is the pepper jack/ham chaffle.

Instant Pot Chicken (SUPER EASY)

Image
 I discovered this method for Thanksgiving. Dad had two servings, and he's NOTORIOUS for disliking chicken. It's SUPER easy, with an instant pot.   Literally dump a package of frozen chicken thighs into the instant pot.   Add a bottle of marinade/dressing.  I'm currently loving the Caribbean Jerk from Walmart.   Set it to pressure cook for 12 minutes.  That's it.  Seriously.  You can let that sit on 'warm' for hours, or serve after it depressures.   This is melt in your mouth delicious.

Beer Bread

 So, I made beer bread the other day.   So good. Here's the link to the recipe I used, which I will paraphrase incase the site goes down.  https://www.thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a96246/beer-bread/ Basically: Preheat oven to 350 Grease a 9x5 loaf pan 3 cups Self-rising Flour 3 Tbsp sugar 1 12oz room temperature beer 4 Tbsp melted butter Mix the flour and sugar together, then add the beer. It will foam up, just keep mixing until it's all incorporated. Put the batter into the pan, and bake for 50-60 minutes (until an instant read thermometer reads 190 or a toothpick inserted into it comes out clean) Remove the bread from the pan, onto a cooling rack over a pan with a lip. Pour the melted butter over the top and brush the sides. Let rest for 15 minutes and serve.  The Schell's Oatmeal Stout was on the top of the variety pack I bought for the bread.  So, that's why I used that one.  The other options will get used, eventually.
