Cheese Crisps Recipe

Easy Cheese Crisps recipe

I have a confession to make. I’m a little obsessed with the show Chopped on the Food Network. I don’t know what it is – you don’t get recipes from it, the 30 minute time limit they have to cook in is frustrating, and some of the items they have to cook with, I’ve never even heard of. However, I love to see people following their passion in life which is what all of the chefs are doing.

As I said you don’t come away with any usable recipes however on a recent episode I did get inspired to make these tasty Cheese Crisps. The contestants were give cheese crackers {Cheese Nips} in their basket and one of the chefs used them to make cheese fricos. I thought they looked delicious and knew I had to try it. It’s only 2 ingredients, but they are a mouth full of flavor!

easy cheese crisps recipe - they're so addicting!

How to make Cheese Crisps

  • 1 block cheddar or Colby jack cheese
  • Package Baked Cheese Nips or Cheese It’s

Using a grater, shred a small pile of cheese into a circle onto a baking pan {about 12 slides on the grater}. Spread out the pile of cheese evenly so the middle is about the same thickness as the edges.

Crumble up 2 cheese nips over each of the shredded cheddar circles {each circle of cheese takes 2 cheese nips}.

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 375 degrees for 5-8 minutes.

They need to bake until they turn golden brown in order for them to get crispy. If you take them out too soon they will be chewy.

Let them cool for about 2 minutes on the pan and remove carefully with a spatula. Let them cool completely so they crisp up.

These cheese crisps are little bites of heaven. They make great snacks for the kids, appetizers with a glass of wine, or an accompaniment with a salad.

Give these a try this weekend. You may already have the ingredients on hand!

    Thank you! I made them when we had a river day this weekend, bigggg hit!! They were so easy and very tasty.

      Great! Thanks for the feedback, Amber. So glad they were a hit.

        How long can these delightful crisps be stored at room temp?

        • Chris says

          Janie, they are fine for a few days, although I recommend making them fresh (only the amount you’re going to eat). They lose their crispiness over time.

            Thank you for your help. I made the crisps yesterday for tonight’s party, and they are still crisp. If we eat all of them, there is no worry about how long they’ll last. Yummy!

            Great! Glad to hear it Janie!

    These sound amazzzing!!! I really want to make them but I do have a question; would using pre-shredded cheese be a problem?

    • Chris says

      April 26, 2013 at 12:55 pm

      Amber, for this I wouldn’t use the pre-shredded. It has a coating on it that prevents it from melting really nicely like you want.
      I don’t love grating cheese either, but for these you don’t have to be specific with measuring so it’s really easy to do. 🙂

    can you use cheez-it’s instead of nips?

    • Chris says

      February 20, 2013 at 3:10 pm

      Alexandra, yes, that would be just fine.

    You may have just ruined my diet.

    • Chris says

      July 30, 2012 at 1:34 pm

      I know, Kole! I have to stop myself from making them too!

    I LOVE that show too… and my husband always asks why I watch it. I think it is the mystery of what they are going to make or come up with.

    • Chris says

      July 28, 2012 at 9:32 am

      Exactly! And I’m always amazed at the dishes they come up with.

    This is such a simple, neat way to satisfy your friends’ taste buds! It saves time, and money! Great idea! 🙂
