Jalapeño Cheese Crisps are a simple, savory snack made by baking shredded cheese topped with spicy jalapeño slices until crispy and golden. These crunchy crisps offer a perfect balance of cheesy richness and spicy heat, making them a delightful appetizer or low-carb snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Toppings

  • 12 thin slices jalapeño peppers

Instructions

  1. Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal of crisps.
  2. Form cheese mounds: Use a spoon to place small mounds (about 1 tablespoon each) of shredded cheddar cheese evenly spaced on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Add jalapeños: Top each cheese mound with one thin slice of jalapeño pepper, gently pressing down so it adheres to the cheese.
  4. Bake crisps: Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted, bubbled, and turned golden brown around the edges.
  5. Cool to harden: Remove from the oven and allow the crisps to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes, during which they will firm up and become crispy.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Carefully lift the Jalapeño Cheese Crisps from the sheet and serve as a spicy, crunchy snack or appetizer.

Notes

  • Use sharp cheddar for best flavor and crispiness.
  • Adjust the number of jalapeño slices to control spiciness or substitute with milder peppers if preferred.
  • Ensure slices are thin so they crisp up evenly with the cheese.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain crispness.
  • These crisps are naturally gluten-free and low-carb.
