Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Take freshly shredded cheddar cheese and ensure it's at room temperature for even melting. Use a box grater or pre-shredded cheese for convenience.
- Drop small mounds of shredded cheese onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each mound. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon to create thin, circular shapes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. The edges should turn golden brown and the cheese will become crisp and lacy.
- Remove from the oven and let the cheese crackers cool directly on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes to allow them to crisp up completely.
- Using a thin spatula, carefully transfer the cheese crackers to a wire rack to cool completely. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
- Store cooled cheese crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Tips
- • Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melting and crispiest results. Pre-shredded cheese can contain anti-caking agents that might affect texture. • Ensure your cheese is at room temperature for even melting and consistent cracker shape. • Leave enough space between cheese mounds to prevent them from merging during baking. • Watch the crackers closely in the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning - they can go from perfect to burnt quickly. • For extra flavor, experiment with different cheese varieties like parmesan or a sharp aged cheddar. • Let crackers cool completely on the baking sheet to achieve maximum crispiness. • Store in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers to maintain their crunch.
