Ingredients
Cheese Mixture
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Seasoning (Optional)
- 2 Tablespoons Everything Bagel seasoning, divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cheese chips.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone baking mat to prevent the cheese from sticking.
- Combine cheeses and seasoning: In a large bowl, toss together the Cheddar, Mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses until evenly mixed. If you’re using the Everything Bagel seasoning, add half of it to the cheese mixture and mix well.
- Portion the cheese: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a teaspoon for smaller and crispier chips or a tablespoon for larger chips. Leave about 1 1/2 inches of space between each scoop to allow for spreading.
- Bake the chips: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 6 to 10 minutes, watching carefully until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and turns golden brown and crispy, according to your preferred level of crispiness.
- Finish and serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the remaining Everything Bagel seasoning on top of the chips. Let the chips cool a minute or two to firm up before serving.
Notes
- For crispier chips, use smaller spoonfuls of cheese and extend baking time carefully to avoid burning.
- Make sure the baking sheet is properly lined to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Feel free to experiment with other seasonings like smoked paprika or garlic powder for different flavor profiles.
- These chips are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days; they may lose some crispness.
- Use freshly shredded cheese rather than pre-shredded for better melting and texture.
