Ingredients
Scale
Cheese (Main Ingredients):
- 1 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
Binding Ingredient:
- 1 egg
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Heat the oven to a precise 350F (175C), ensuring an accurate temperature for perfect crisp formation.
- In a mixing bowl, thoroughly blend Parmesan, Mozzarella, egg, and onion powder until the mixture becomes a uniform, cohesive consistency.
- Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper, then carefully spread the cheese mixture into a thin, even layer, creating a smooth surface for consistent crisping.
- Place the prepared sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, watching for edges to transform into a rich golden-brown and achieve a delicate crispness.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cheese sheet to cool momentarily, enabling it to firm up slightly before gently breaking into individual crisp segments.
- Transfer the cheese crisps to a serving plate, allowing them to continue cooling and reaching their optimal crispy texture.
Notes
- Precision matters when spreading the cheese mixture, aim for uniformity to ensure even baking and consistent crispiness.
- Experiment with different cheese blends like aged cheddar or pecorino to create unique flavor profiles and textures.
- Customize these low-carb snacks by adding herbs like dried basil or oregano for extra aromatic dimension and complexity.
- Store cooled crisps in an airtight container to maintain their crunchiness and prevent moisture absorption, keeping them fresh for several days.
