Every once in awhile I get a craving for these savory waffles. Recently I got the idea to make a chicken cordon bleu type of waffle that essentially has chicken, ham and swiss inside. I’ve already made a handful of savory waffles and thought this would be a good addition.
So I used some rotisserie chicken I had, along with the a few other ingredients and created these chicken ham & swiss keto waffles. Oh am I glad I did. They were awesome!
Savory Keto Waffles
These are not the kind of waffles you would load with syrup and eat for breakfast. Though you could eat them for breakfast. I make them because they are low carb and just darn tasty.
However, I need to find a way to make a big batch of these because I think they would also be great for a party. But for now I can only manage 4 at a time. I do freeze them and reheat them and they taste great, but not quite as good as the ones fresh off the waffle iron.
Chicken Ham & Swiss Keto Waffles Recipe
To make this recipe, you mix a beaten egg, cooked chicken, ham, swiss and mozzarella to make your “batter”. You take about 1/4 of the batter and put it in the center of the iron and press down. You should get 4 small waffles from this recipe.
I find that if you keep them small and in the center, they won’t stick to your waffle iron. Well at least they don’t stick to mine. And while you only get 4 small waffles, that is plenty for one person because they are filling. I think it’s because you are essentially eating fried cheese with chicken and ham thrown in. Doesn’t that sound good. 😉
My Waffle Iron
By the way, I have a nonstick waffle iron that I bought from Target that is just wonderful. It was less than $20 I believe and it works great because you don’t have to grease it and nothing sticks to it.
If you like these kind of waffles I would definitely recommend it. It’s an Oster Waffle Iron and you can also get it on Amazon too.
Chicken Ham & Swiss Waffles
So if you are a fan of the savory low carb waffles, this is another one for you. Only 5 ingredients, to make 4 waffles in 10 minutes that are 1g net carbs each. How’s that for some numbers! I hope you enjoy these delicious chicken ham & swiss waffles.
1 waffle = 97 cals / 5.3g fat / 1g carbs / 10.5g protein = 1g net carbs
And if you really like that chicken, ham and swiss combination, try my friend Taryn’s low carb chicken cordon bleu casserole. It looks fantastic!
Chicken Ham & Swiss Waffles (low carb)
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chicken, cooked and cut into small pieces
- 1 egg
- 1 oz ham, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
Instructions
-
Get your waffle iron ready according to manufacturer's instructions.
-
In a large bowl, beat your egg and then add the other ingredients.
-
Mix well.
-
Add 1/4 of the batter to the center of the heated waffle iron and close.
-
Continue with the rest of the batter. This should make 4 small waffles.
-
Note: My waffle make does not require me to grease it beforehand. I find that if I make the waffles small and in the center, they will not stick. They should come out nice and chewy but crunchy on the outside.

I never thought to use our waffle maker for something other than waffles. Love this idea, delicious!

These would make a perfect addition to a brunch menu. Love the idea of savory waffle versus a sweet one. Besides brunch they would be great for a light lunch or dinner. Checking the ingredients so I can make them ASAP.
Julie
I love turning anything we can into a waffle! We recently put raw babka dough on a waffle iron and it was spectacular, although definitely not low carb friendly. This looks like a much healthier option to try out this weekend. 😉
Jordan
Ohhhhh my! These look like crispy, savory, cheesy perfection. I predict I’m gonna eat about 6 all by myself. Can’t wait to try!
Anna
What a wonderful idea for savoury waffles! I do enjoy savoury breakfast more than sweet ones, so definitely putting this on my list to try! And it looks like one of these dishes that will not leave me feeling heavy, as it’s a low carb!

Love the idea of making them small because I’ve had problems with big waffles like this sticking

I have never had official chicken and waffles, this recipe is as close as I’ve come but I really like it and I hope you do too!
Michelle
I am not usually a huge waffle fan, but make me a savory version? I’m so there!
Denise
They are addictive Michelle! I make these for my husband all the time. The nice thing is that you can really put anything you want in them for a savory snack.
Marisa Franca @ All Our Way
Boy, this really sounds like a fantastic breakfast! But I have to admit the chicken cordon bleu waffles sound fantastic too. Just thinking of the crunchy waffles around the meat and cheese is making me super hungry. I don’t like sandwiches with soggy bread. Can’t wait to try this.
Denise
I hope you give them a try Marisa! Thanks for stopping by.
Mike
Hey, this looks cool. Just one question… what is swiss? 🙂
Denise
Hi Mike, I see you point….I meant Swiss cheese! 🙂
Joy @ Joy Love Food
I love chicken cordon bleu, great idea to make a waffle version and yes, fried cheese with chicken and ham thrown in does sound amazing!
Denise
I thought it was pretty good! Thanks for stopping by Joy.
Kristen
Drooling, like seriously! I made a mixture that was suppose to turn into an egg frittata for Bible study today, but never baked it because ended up at dr with daughter who has pnuemonia 🙁 So I am totally pouring the batter into my waffle maker!
Denise
Great idea! Let me know how it turns out. Hope your daughter is feeling better.
