Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite hard cheese)
  • 1 fresh jalapeño, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the crisps.
  2. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  3. Assemble the Crisps: Sprinkle small mounds of shredded cheese evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet. Place one or two thin slices of jalapeño on top of each mound of cheese.
  4. Bake Until Crisp: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and turns golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up before transferring them to a plate to serve.

Notes

  • Use a sharp cheddar or parmesan for the best crisp texture.
  • Remove seeds from jalapeños if you prefer less heat.
  • Watch closely near the end of baking to prevent burning.
  • These crisps can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days but are best eaten fresh.
