🥩 Carnivore Chaffle Burger Recipe

A Carnivore Chaffle Burger swaps traditional bread buns for crispy, cheesy chaffles (cheese + egg waffles). It’s zero-carb, high-protein, and perfect for strict carnivore or keto eaters. Quick to make, super filling, and endlessly customizable with carnivore-friendly toppings.

📌 Description

This burger uses savory chaffles as the “bun,” with juicy beef patties and melted cheese in the center. The chaffles are crisp outside, tender inside, and hold up perfectly to the meat and fat — no crumbs, no carbs, all flavor.
