Preheat a waffle maker to medium heat. This will be used to make the chaffles (cheese waffles) that act as the bread substitute for the sandwich.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese, 2 eggs, cream cheese, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
Spray the waffle maker with non-stick spray or coat lightly with oil. Pour half of the chaffle batter into the waffle maker, spreading it out evenly. Close the lid and cook for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and firm. Repeat with the remaining batter to make a total of 2 chaffles.
In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and mayonnaise to create a tangy sandwich spread.
Spread the mayonnaise-mustard mixture on one side of each chaffle. On one chaffle, layer 3 slices of turkey breast, 2 slices of cheddar cheese, and cover with the other chaffle to create the sandwich.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once it’s melted, place the assembled sandwich in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until golden and crispy, then gently flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sandwich is heated through.
Remove from heat, slice the sandwich in half, and serve immediately. Enjoy your warm and cheesy keto turkey melt sandwich!
