Ingredients- 2 slices Cheddar cheese (in original packaging)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare your two slices of cheddar cheese. We’ll be using them with the plastic packaging still on. Using a knife, carefully cut each slice into 9 to 16 smaller pieces. Cutting them into smaller pieces helps them cook more evenly and become crispier in the microwave.
Step 2
Next, prepare a piece of parchment paper suitable for your microwave or air fryer. Arrange the cheese pieces on the parchment paper, making sure to leave ample space between them. This is crucial because the cheese will puff up as it cooks, and adequate spacing prevents them from sticking together, ensuring a nice shape.
Step 3
Place the prepared cheese on the parchment paper into the microwave. Cook for 1 minute and 30 seconds to 1 minute and 40 seconds. The exact cooking time can vary depending on your microwave’s wattage, so it’s a good idea to start with 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Step 4
After 1 minute and 30 seconds, check the cheese. It should be puffed up nicely and have slightly golden-brown edges. If it’s not quite done to your liking, microwave in additional 10-second intervals. Be careful not to overcook, as the cheese can burn quickly.
Step 5
Once cooked and puffed, carefully remove the cheese crisps from the microwave while they are still on the parchment paper. Let them cool for a few moments on the parchment paper. While they are hot, they might seem a bit soft, but cooling them down will enhance their crispiness.
Step 6
And there you have it! Your wonderfully crispy cheese crisps with a rich, cheesy flavor are ready. Their satisfying crunch and savory taste make them an excellent choice for a quick drink accompaniment or a delightful snack. Enjoy this effortless treat!
