Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing each scoop at least 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound gently with the back of the spoon to form a uniform circle, about 2 inches in diameter.
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese crisps are golden brown and slightly bubbling.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the crisps to cool on the sheets for about 5 minutes. They will firm up as they cool.
Once cooled, gently transfer the cheese crisps to a serving plate or an airtight container for storage.
Serve immediately as a snack or appetizer, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
