Baked Cheese Crisps
These crispy homemade baked cheese crisps are a delicious high-protein snack that you can make with just one simple ingredient—shredded cheese! It's the perfect way to use up leftover cheese for a quick snack, as a topping for salads, or even in a charcuterie board!
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
- Cheese grater
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded cheese (freshly grated or pre-shredded)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400℉.
- Shred the cheese if you're using a fresh block or wedge of cheese.
- Arrange on baking sheet. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper. Make 10-12 mounds of shredded cheese on the baking sheet, using 2-3 tablespoons of shredded cheese per mound. Space each mound about 2 inches apart. Lightly flatten the top of each mound.
- Bake for 7-8 minutes or until the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbly. Baking times may vary, so watch your crisps closely after the 5-minute mark.
- Remove from oven and let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to crisp up fully.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Don’t crowd the pan - the cheese will spread as it bakes, so make sure to leave space in between each cheese mound
- Watch the oven closely - every oven is different, so keep a close eye especially towards the end. Baking times may also vary depending on how thick your cheese mounds are. You can bake them in the oven for a little longer if you like them extra crispy!
- Top with seasonings for an extra flavor boost - try mixing the shredded cheese with garlic powder, paprika, everything bagel seasoning, Italian seasoning, or even a little pepper before baking
