Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 medium fresh jalapeño, finely diced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, finely diced jalapeño, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly mixed.
- Scoop tablespoon sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are golden brown and bubbly.
- Allow the crisps to cool on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes until firm and crisp.
- Carefully lift from parchment and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Finely dice the jalapeño for even distribution.
- Freshly shredded cheese melts and crisps better than pre shredded.
- Let the crisps cool completely for maximum crunch.
- Re crisp in a 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 3 to 4 minutes if needed.
