Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (113 g / 4 oz) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon (7 g / 0.25 oz) seasoning of choice, optional (Italian seasoning, everything bagel seasoning, or smoked paprika work well)
  • & Tricks
  • Experiment with different hard, aged cheeses like Parmesan, Asiago, or Gruyère for unique flavor profiles. Avoid soft cheeses as they won't crisp up properly.
  • To create mini taco shells or bowls, drape the hot, pliable crisps over the handle of a wooden spoon or a small inverted bowl immediately after they come out of the oven. They will harden into shape as they cool.
  • For a super-fast single serving, make these in the microwave! Place small piles of cheese on a parchment-lined, microwave-safe plate and cook on high for 60-90 seconds, or until golden and bubbly.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F / 190°C.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. 2.
  3. Drop heaping tablespoons of the shredded cheese onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each mound to allow for spreading. If using, sprinkle your favorite seasonings evenly over the cheese piles. 3.
  4. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are bubbly and set.
  5. Keep a close eye on them during the last few minutes as they can go from perfect to burnt very quickly! 4.
  6. Let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will become firm and crispy as they cool.
  7. Once cool, carefully lift them off the parchment paper and enjoy immediately for the best texture.
  8. While best eaten fresh, you can store completely cooled crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. A silica gel packet can help absorb moisture and maintain crispness.
