Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese (sharp or mild, shredded)
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika (optional, for seasoning)
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground, optional)
- 1 sheet Cooking spray or parchment paper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and all-purpose flour. Mix until the flour evenly coats the cheese.
If using, add the paprika and black pepper to the mixture for a subtle hint of spice and flavor. Stir to combine.
Using a tablespoon, scoop small mounds of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon to ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese mounds melt, spread, and turn golden brown with crispy edges. Keep a close eye to ensure they don't burn.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cheese frizzles cool for 5-7 minutes on the tray to allow them to crisp up further.
Carefully transfer the cooled cheese frizzles to a plate or airtight container. Serve immediately as a snack or use as a topping for salads and soups.
