Today is International Waffle Day. From that joy you can fry a salty treat.

Fry your favorite waffles in honor of Waffle Day or try something completely new – like this floury waffle.
Yes, you read that right. You don’t always need flour. Not even waffles. As long as the dough contains egg and grated cheese.
Chef of Pippuri.fi Risto Mikkola advises how to make flourless waffles.
Mikkola started ketoing a couple of years ago. It has changed his life, although Mikkola is not entirely absolute: sometimes he eats pizza, candies and burgers.
– I can handle and sleep better, Mikkola sums up.
– I know that ketoing is not for everyone, but it has made me a more energetic chef who has lost 14 kilos, says.
This shrimp waffle is also a prime example of the perfect keto food, which is also really delicious. Basically, everything that is cooked should taste good.
All you have to do is mix egg and grated cheese and add spices. Then you just pour the dough into the waffle iron.
Mikkola has also tested grating the cheese directly on the waffle peace, breaking the egg on top of it and finally adding a slice of ham, but a better result will come if the ingredients are mixed together first.
The cheese and whipped egg give a “floury” mouthfeel. Hard to believe that the dough doesn’t even contain almond flour.
This delicacy is suitable for breakfast, lunch and dinner. You can include exactly what you like, be it cabbage or ham.
