Thank goodness for low-carb/keto chaffles because I just made myself some Keto Lobster Roll!! And we’re not talking about our sushi version!
We’re talking about creamy lobster sandwiched between warm, toasty, buttered rolls served at restaurants for an arm and an leg!
Now let’s discuss what a chaffle is for those of you not familiar. A chaffle is basically a mixture of egg, cheese, maybe some seasoning mixed together and cooked on a waffle iron.
It’s low-carb/keto friendly and serves as a solid bread alternative. This is why I chose to use a chaffle for this lobster roll recipe.
I used frozen Langostino tails that I bought at our local store instead of fresh lobster tails for easy accessibility. Of course, feel free to use fresh or frozen steamed lobsters if you prefer.
And believe it or not, lobster rolls are very easy to prepare and being able to cook one up when the craving hits is really a treat.
This is why I recommend frozen langostino tails that are already fully cooked to make it quick and easy!
There’s no need to go to Maine or some fancy seafood restaurant, now you can make delicious low-carb/keto lobster rolls in the comfort of your own home.
So what are you waiting for? Go make those lobster rolls!
For this dish, the special ingredient you would need is Kewpie Mayo, which you can get on Amazon or at a local Asian supermarket. You will also need a waffle maker. We use the Dash Mini Waffle Maker because it makes the perfect size waffles, but any waffle maker will do.
Note – If you are preparing multiple servings, we would recommend using 2 Dash Mini Waffle Maker simultaneously to reduce the cooking time.
Now if you’re ready, let’s chaffle!

Yaaaaaaassssss!!!!! I crave lobster rolls, this is awesome!!! I love the idea of Old Bay Seasoning in the Chaffle batter! I think I might experiment with use of tarragon and a little finely diced celery with the lobster mixture. Thank you!!
Hey Natalie! Haha, we figured you’d like this one! Yup, the bay seasoning def makes this dish for sure! Let us know how your experiments turns out! Might have to try it out ourselves!
Does it matter if the cheese is pre-shredded? I usually buy the rolls of Mozzarella cheese. Would be too moist? Maybe I could wrap it in a tea towel to draw out extra moisture…
Hey Rosie – We’ve never used wet Mozzarella before, so can’t say for certainty, but I think it would work. The cooking time would probably be longer and the texture might be a little different, but would probably work.
I ADORE your site. What a revelation for summertime! Got a side of salmon marinating in my fridge right now with your miso/sake/soy/serve mix…counting the minutes till tomorrow….AND got a dash mini waffle iron, bonito flakes, kewpie mayo, and wasabi powder on route!
Hello Maria! Thank you for your kind words and so happy to know that you found some recipes on LCA that you can try! Hope you continue to come back for some more recipes!
Hi, is the carb count correct on this recipe? The recipe looks delicious and I can’t wait to try but I’m very strict when it comes to counting carbs. I thought the chaffles alone were already 3 net carbs?
Hey Linda! I just looked it over and looks right from a whole number perspective (the program rounds numbers). But where did you get a chaffle is 3 net carbs? A single chaffle should be around 0.5 net carbs.
That’s great to know! But as for the chaffle I found a recipe that listed it as 3 net carbs 🤷🏻♀️. After looking at more recipes, that used the same ingredients, the net carbs always varied from site to site.
Yeah, net carbs can vary a quite a bit depending on what database they are using, the brand of the product, how they round numbers, etc. When in doubt, calculate it yourself!
