Wow, game-changer for me: I tried paneer as a chaffle, and it worked brilliantly. Paneer, like halloumi, is a cheese that basically doesn't melt. You can fry or grill it.

I used 2.7 oz of paneer, about 1/4 of the package. I buzzed it in the Magic Bullet until grainy, then added the egg. It formed a thick batter.

The end result was a tad dry, but very good. I'll try adding a Tbsp of butter or oil next time; that should help. It was also very bland: I might have to actually add salt, and maybe a touch of garlic powder or other spices. It would probably work well with cinnamon and splenda.

Something I'm liking about this option is that it's affordable: my rule of thumb for buying cheese is that I don't like paying more than $1 per 100 g. If a 500-g block is on sale for $4.99, that's a good price. These 350-g bricks of paneer are regularly $2.99.
