This straightforward recipe delivers delightfully crispy cheese crisps that come together with minimal ingredients and effort. Perfect as a snack or a garnish for soups and salads, these crisps offer a tasty, low-carb alternative to traditional crackers.
Ingredients:
- Parmesan cheese, 1 cup
- Mozzarella cheese, 1 cup
- Egg, 1
- Onion powder, 1 teaspoon
Directions:
Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). This temperature is ideal for baking the cheese to golden perfection.
Mix Ingredients:
- In a bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, egg, and onion powder. Stir until the mixture is well combined, ensuring that the egg is thoroughly mixed with the cheeses.
Prepare Baking Sheet:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This step helps prevent sticking and ensures easy removal of the crisps once baked.
Spread the Mixture:
- Spread the cheese mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet. You can either make individual rounds or a single thin layer that can be broken into rustic pieces after baking.
Bake:
- Bake the mixture in the preheated oven until the edges turn golden brown and the center is bubbly. This usually takes about 15 minutes.
Cool and Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let the crisps cool slightly on the baking sheet. This cooling period helps them firm up, making them easier to handle and crispier.
- Once cooled, break into pieces or cut into desired shapes.
These cheese crisps are not only a delicious standalone snack but also make an excellent topping for salads or a crispy side for dips. Enjoy the savory blend of Parmesan and mozzarella with a subtle hint of onion for a flavorful treat.
