Description
Delicious and crispy cheese snacks infused with savory herbs and garlic, perfect for Christmas gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop out the cheese mixture and place it onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each scoop to allow for spreading.
- Flatten each scoop slightly with the back of the spoon to form a disc shape.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish and serve.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add a dash of cayenne pepper to the cheese mixture.
- Experiment with different cheese combinations, such as mozzarella or gouda, for varied flavors and textures.
