Preparation

Step 1

If you’re planning on mixing in seasonings or spices, grate your cheese. Or get pre-shredded cheese. Either is fine. I’ve used the “mexican shredded blend” before with success.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and put some parchment paper on a cookie sheet.

Now, if you’re using shredded cheese + seasonings, go ahead and toss it all together in a bowl. Cheddar/Jack and Ranch dressing mix is amazing. “Mexican blend” is great with some chili powder and garlic. Parmesan and basil is always nice. Do what feels good to you. Just don’t add salt. Remember, cheese is already PLENTY salty on its own. You do NOT need additional salt.

If you’re using plain cheese, slice it thinly (not paper-thin, but like “sandwich slices” thin) and break or cut it into little squares. About an inch square is good. Again, they will spread out, so place these on the parchment-lined cookie sheet, spaced out like cookies.

Try in the microwave for a minute and a half. And add 30 seconds if not solid enough..these get firmer with cooling

Very tasty! I made 16 little piles in one pan then placed 16 pepperoni slices on a paper towel in another pan. Cooked both for 7 minutes. Both were crisp and tasted great together.

I just used a Itlian 5 cheese blend and put pepperoni on them. Turned out great and it’s a crestless pizza

I mixed 1/3 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese with 1/4 tsp. each chili powder, dried cilantro, and garlic powder then baked as instructed. Pretty dag gone tasty. I need to start them a little thinner before baking so they get a little crispier and I think I will go with 1/4 plus 1/8 tsp. of the chili powder and only 1/8 tsp. of the garlic, but even so. Yum.

I started Atkins last week and was looking for something to replace crackers. I made these today and oh my gosh, they were DELICIOUS!! I used pre-sliced cheddar cheese, Target brand and tore the cheese slices into 1″ squares and baked them that way. I can’t believe how freaking good they were and I am addicted! I wish I would have made more. I can’t wait to try them with your artichoke dip recipe. =)

I found this link on the MDA forums and I think you single-handedly cured my cravings for chips and crackers! I made these with half regular cheddar and half Irish aged cheddar and then added garlic powder and cayenne pepper and had to stop myself from eating the entire tray. Thank you!!!!

Just made these..sprinkled in some mrs dash garlic and herb. Going to make these along with the artichoke dip for New Years tomorrow evening.

These also make excellent mini taco “shells”. You can top them with low carb favorites such as salsa, seasoned ground meat or chicken, sour cream and a bit of guacamole!
