Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 to 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated (optional)
- Pinch of paprika (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Non-stick cooking spray or parchment paper (for baking)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Shred 8 ounces (225 grams) of sharp cheddar cheese finely using a box grater.
- In a bowl, combine the shredded cheddar with 1/4 cup (25 grams) grated Parmesan (if using), 1 to 2 tablespoons of everything bagel seasoning, a pinch of paprika, and a few cracks of black pepper. Stir gently to distribute evenly.
- Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, drop tablespoon-sized mounds of the cheese mixture onto the parchment, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon to form thin discs around 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) wide.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set but not burnt. Keep an eye on them around the 8-minute mark as ovens vary. The crisps will harden more as they cool.
- Let the crisps cool completely on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes to crisp up fully and make them easier to handle without breaking.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Notes
Shred cheese finely for best crispiness. Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to allow cheese to spread evenly. Watch closely near the end of baking to avoid burning. Air fryer option: 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, checking often. Store crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat in oven at 300°F (150°C) for 3-4 minutes to restore crispness if softened.
