I remember when I was a kid, I would cook up those Kraft cheddar singles in the microwave. The cheese would melt on the little saucer. The edges would harden and the center was nice and melted. I'd scrap up and eat the center first, the I'd carefully remove that one ring of outer cheese that's slightly hardened and eat that up last. Bring back so many memories. My mom would look at me funny, but I didn't care. I had myself some melted cheese.
These are sort of like that melted cheese I used to have. They're great in sandwiches or as a garnish on a salad.
Cheddar Crispies
Shredded or Grated cheddar cheese
Note: you may also used mixed blended cheese.
Preheat your oven to 400˚F
On a parchment paper lines baking sheet, Take 1 2 tablespoons of cheese and lay it on the parchment paper. Carefully pat it down to lightly spread the cheese into a flat circle. Place in the oven for 5-6 minutes. Then let it cool and harden before handling.
This is perfect for me...I always love picking up those crispy bits of cheese that fall to the wayside when baking, this time it's the main event!
