Directions:
- Step 1: Preheat the OvenPreheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is perfect for achieving crispy cheese chips without burning them.
- Step 2: Prepare Your Baking SheetLine a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step is crucial as it prevents the cheese from sticking to the pan and allows for easy removal of the chips once they’re baked.
- Step 3: Mix the CheesesIn a medium bowl, combine the shredded cheese and parmesan cheese (if using). Mix well to ensure that the parmesan is evenly distributed throughout the cheddar.
- Step 4: Form the ChipsScoop tablespoon-sized portions of the cheese mixture and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each mound. Gently flatten each mound into a thin circle. The thinner you make them, the crispier they’ll become!
- Step 5: Bake the ChipsPlace the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling. Keep a close eye on them, as oven times may vary.
- Step 6: Cool and EnjoyOnce baked, remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. They will crisp up even more as they cool. Carefully lift them off the parchment paper and serve immediately or store for later!
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle some garlic powder or cayenne pepper on the cheese before baking.
- If you prefer thicker chips, adjust the baking time accordingly, but be aware that they may take longer to crisp up.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet; this allows for even cooking and crispiness.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for freshness, but they’re best enjoyed the day they are made.
