Now you might be thinking to yourself, "Ew. Broccoli waffles."
I know that it sounds wrong, but some things are so wrong that they are right.
It's like when Cher and the Jackson 5 got together. (video above)
You'd think that Cher in an afro would be wrong, but oh how right it was.
Anyhoooo. Let's talk about what ingredients you'll need to make these Keto broccoli chaffles.
You will need broccoli, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese and eggs.
Add a couple easy over eggs and you've got yourself the perfect breakfast for dinner meal.
It would make a good brunch too, if you go in for such things.
So give broccoli chaffles a chance, just one chance.
It's a recipe so wrong, it's right.

Is the broccoli supposed to be cooked before?
EmilyKrill says
No, it's raw. The waffle iron will cook it through.

Ho-ho-ho, this is the pioneering broccoli chaffles recipe, Ms. Emily Krill. 🙂
Is it possible that Ms. Zorya's complaint stemmed from perceived greasiness rather than the actual fat content of the batter? Perhaps the copious water in the broccoli gave the oil from the cheeses nowhere to go, and it essentially floated around outside of the other ingredients. Cheese in the pan or elsewhere can easily devolve into a oily mess if you're not careful. I wonder if dehydrating the broccoli first would allow the dried vegetable bits to soak up much of the cheese oil, resulting in a more even distribution of said oil without perceived greasiness. I also wonder if a touch of almond flour or meal along with baking powder would increase the internal surface area enough that the oil would be more "spread out," further reducing apparent greasiness.
I want to try this experiment myself once I've restocked on a decent Parmesan! *lightning flashes wildly outside of the mad-scientist laboratory, and Igor silently awaits instructions* ^_^
