Two Ingredient Recipes: Colby Jack Cheese + Cheese Nips = Cheese Crisps
Source
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!
Cheese Crisps
1 block cheddar or Colby jack cheese
Package Baked Cheese Nips
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 the shredded cheddar & distribute evenly.
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.
