Ingredients

• Cheddar Cheese Slices – That’s right, all you need are some of these slices of cheese! Cheddar is a fantastic option for its familiar flavor and cheesy bite, but feel free to substitute or combine with other kinds of cheese if you like.

 

Helpful Tools and Supplies

• Baking Sheet – use a baking sheet to hold your cheese crisps while they bake.
• Parchment Paper – this will prevent the cheese from sticking to the baking sheet and make them easy to remove and transport.
• Cooling Rack – helps your cheddar crisps cool fully.
• Cutting Board – you’ll need to slice your cheese into smaller pieces, so a cutting board is helpful here.

 

How to Make Cheddar Cheese Crisps in the Oven

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lay a piece of parchment paper over a baking sheet.
2. Using a cutting board, slice the cheese slices into four squares.
   

   I recommend slicing your cheese into quarters, but feel free to cut them into whatever size you like best.

3. Place the quartered cheese slices on the lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
   

   Be sure to leave a little bit of space between each cheese slice to prevent them from sticking together while baking.

4. Remove from oven and lift the crisps from the parchment paper and place on a cooling rack.

Popular Recipe Variations and Substitutions

• For some additional flavor, dust your cheese slices with Italian seasoning or other seasonings of your choice before baking. You could also wait until they’ve cooled, spritz them with a small amount of oil, and add flavorings of your choice.
• Cheddar Parmesan Crisps – Once baked, dust the cheese crisps with some grated Parmesan cheese.
• Asiago and Cheddar Cheese Crisps – Before baking, sprinkle the tops of your cheese with pre-shredded asiago cheese.
• Replace the cheddar cheese slices with any cheese of your choice. The same can be done with the shredded cheese in the above variation. Pair a slice of cheese with your choice of shredded cheese on top to create your own custom cheese crisps!

 

Essential Tips

• The parchment paper should prevent the cheese crisps from sticking, but feel free to use a small spatula or knife to separate them from the paper if necessary.
• If you don’t have a cooling rack, allow the crisps to cool on a plate covered with a paper towel.
• Make sure your oven is properly pre-heated before baking the cheese crisps. If it isn’t hot enough, you may just end up with cheese melts.
• Cut the cheese into whatever size you prefer for the finished product. The crisps won’t change size very much in the oven, so you’ll be able to determine what size they’ll be before baking.

 

Storage and Reheating Tips

• Keep your cheese crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. They might start to lose crispiness after this point.
• Cheddar crisps can also be store in the freezer for up to 6 months. Store them with parchment paper between rows in order to prevent sticking.
• If your cheddar cheese crisps lose some of their crispiness, pop them back in the oven until they’re a little bit melty, then allow them to cool and crisp up.
• The air fryer is also a great option for reheating your crisps.

 

FAQs

Why are my cheese crisps not crispy?

If you find your cheddar crisps are a bit soggy or flimsy after they cool, it’s possible you didn’t bake them for long enough. Be sure to give them enough time in the oven so they’ll crisp up once cooled.

Are cheese crisps healthy?

These cheese crisps are great because they’re low in carbs and only made with one ingredient. Cheese is also high in calcium and protein.

These crisps are a great way to satisfy any chip or cracker cravings without all the carbs!
