Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Pickled jalapeños, finely chopped
- 2 stalks Scallions, thinly sliced
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, finely chopped pickled jalapeños, sliced scallions, and ground black pepper. Toss gently to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Scoop small mounds of the cheese mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them at least 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
Gently flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to create an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, or until the cheese crisps are golden and bubbly.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crisps cool on the tray for 5 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Carefully transfer the crisps to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, sprinkle with a small pinch of paprika for added color and flavor.
Serve immediately as a snack, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
