One of the things people seem to miss the most when they give up grains is crackers—cheese and crackers especially…. But what if the cheese could be the cracker? (Mind blown, right?) You can pay a premium for ready-made versions in the store, or you can spend less than ten at home making your own for a small fraction of the cost. Just see how easy is it.
Cheese Crisp Recipe
Servings: 6 crisps
Prep Time: 1 minute
Cook Time: 7-10 minutes
Ingredients:
1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 ºF/205 ºC.
Line a metal baking sheet with parchment paper.
Finely shred a cup’s worth of cheddar cheese (or use bagged finely shredded cheese). We’re using cheddar here, but this recipe works for other hard cheeses such as Parmesan, colby-jack, etc. Note: finely shredded cheese will melt more quickly and evenly.
Take a generous pinch of shredded cheese and spread out in an individual circle on the sheet. Gently press down. Repeat until parchment sheet is full, leaving a couple inches between cheese circles.
Heat in oven for 7-10 minutes. Take out and let cool at least 5 minutes.
Serve with your favorite salsa, guacamole, sliced meats or sauces.

Easy Homemade Parmesan Crisps (Frico) Recipe - Make With Any Grated Cheese - EatSimpleFood.com
Recipe:
This is a simple and easy homemade Parmesan crisp recipe. Parmesan crisps, called Parmesan Frico in Italian, refers to heated cheese. This fast cheese crisp recipe is baked in the oven for ~ 4 minutes at 350F.
This easy and simple Parmesan cheese crisp is a perfect fast appetizer or side dish for pastas, stews, or salads.
Serve frico cheese crisps with Gazpacho, Ceviche, Cucumber Soup, or Pickled Shrimp.
Parmesan or Asiago cheese are generally used for frico but any variety of melted cheese will also work.
Parmesan cheese crisps are naturally low carb, gluten free, and keto.
How To Make Easy Homemade Parmesan Crisps:
-Grate some Parmesan cheese.
-Optional: add some herbs or spices like thyme or cayenne pepper if you like some heat.
-Bake in the oven for a couple minutes at 350F. Lit sit a couple minutes and remove from sheet pan while still warm but solid.
Grate The Parmesan Cheese or Buy Pre Grated Cheese
Frico can be thin and harder cheese wafers or thicker and softer and more pliable Parmesan crisps depending on how long they are cooked and how much cheese is used.
Grating Parmesan cheese on a microplane will make for delicate, lighter and uber crispy Parmesan chips.
Conversely, using a thicker store bought pre-grated Parmesan cheese will make a greasier, chewier, and browner Parmesan crisp.
Watch the video below and try this Parmesan Frico recipe both ways to see which cheese you prefer.
How To Get Perfect Crispy Baked Parmesan Frico Crisps
The only trick to making crispy Parmesan crisps is to let them sit for a couple minutes on the pan after baking until they get solid enough to move.
Having said that, if you wait too long, they will stick to the parchment paper or pan. If you try to get them off the pan right away they will be too melty, because they have not solidified enough yet to be moved.
How To Store Parmesan Cheese Crisps
Parmesan crisps will stay good in the refrigerator a couple days if layered between parchment paper and placed in a ziplock bag.
Frico can also be frozen in a ziploc bag. Having said that, the crisps will need to be warmed up in the oven at 300F for a couple minutes if they are soft after defrosting.
Parmesan crisps are really simple and fast to make so it's just as easy to make them fresh.
Homemade Parmesan Crisp Recipe FAQS
Can I use any cheese to make crisps?
Yes sir! Yes ma'am! Frico (AKA) cheese crisps can be made with any cheese. Try colby jack, cheddar, mozzarella, Swiss, whatever cheese you like.
Why are my cheese crisps not crispy?
First - make sure that you are not using too much cheese. Smart with small disks and then get larger as you learn. Cheese crisps get melty first. Then they have to sit for a minute or two on the pan to be solid enough to move to a plate or cooling rack where they will continue to crisp up.
Serves 3
Ingredients:
-¾ cup (~ 2 oz) Parmesan cheese, grated
-pinch dried thyme - optional
-pinch cayenne pepper - optional if you like heat
Instructions:
-Preheat oven to 350F.
-Grate Parmesan cheese on the small side of a box grater.
-Optional: mix in cayenne and thyme or any herbs or spices that you like. Leave out the cayenne if you are sensitive to heat!
-Distribute 6 Parmesan mounds evenly on a wax or silicone lined baking sheet.
-Lightly flatten out with your fingers into a slight fat disk shape, making sure to leave ~ an inch between each cheese crisp.
-Bake ~ 4-5 minutes or until starting to bubble, melt together, and turn light brown.
-Rest ~2 minutes and remove with a thin metal spatula. Don't wait too long to get them off the pan or they will harden and stick. Conversely, don't take them off too soon or they will be too soft to move.
Happy Parmesan crisp eating!
