Many a time we feel like having a quick snack without much work, and these one ingredients cheese crisp are perfect for such days. With just one ingredient, this is not only a yummy snack but also a great side for a tasty soup. Yes, that is how I introduced this cracker to my husband. Nowadays when I see cheese in my fridge, my heart starts melting for these lacy cheesy keto cheese chips.
Back in Bentonville, I was watching Barefoot Contessa on the food network channel, and Ina Garten was doing a cheese special show. Oh, man being a big-time cheese lover I was drooling while watching the show. I couldn't stop thinking about the keto cheese chips she prepared with Parmesan cheese. Certain dishes can't be postponed, this is one such dish. If you are a cheese lover halt reading, check your fridge for sharp cheese 🙂 That day I checked my fridge and I didn't have cheese. Luckily it was Friday, grocery shopping day. The first thing picked from the shop was sharp cheddar.
As I told in my Roasted Tomato Soup, we had these crackers with it. I was in a big dilemma about which one to bake first veggies for soup or cheese Chips. My snack addiction tempted me to bake the crackers first. As soon as I saw cheese bubbling I was waiting to pull out. Light salty, crispy, crunchy keto cheese chips disappeared in no time. I gave one to my kiddo, he said Chips nalla irukka (Chips taste good) and asked for more.
Immediately my hubby and I became so happy. Every time we go to see a pediatrician we hear the same sentence. Give him more protein. Other than lentils, milk, curd - cheese is my saver. Gone are those days when he used to eat string cheese holding them himself. Other than his favorite Mac and cheese, this is yet another tasty one in his favorite Chips form.
What kind of cheese works best?
For the best crispy cheese crisp, I would recommend cheddar cheese. you can also use parmesan cheese. if you are using mozzarella use a low-fat version
Grated cheese or sliced cheese?
I have experimented with the recipe with both varieties of cheddar cheese
Baked | Broil version - grated cheese works best
Microwave version - small pieces of sliced cheese also give perfect cheese crisps. The whole big slice turns crisp but the small piece Gives best chips
should I sprinkle salt?
Cheddar cheese has salt so it won't taste blunt.
Flavors add on
Yes, you can add any flavor of your choice. Garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, chilli flakes extra can be added

Notes
- I have used grated sharp cheddar instead you can use parmesan or any sharp cheese can be used
- As cheese already contains salt no need to add extra salt
- Dried herbs like basil, oregano, thyme, etc. can be added for extra flavor
- Baking time may vary from oven to oven and microwave to microwave
- If you are using sliced cheese. Cut the cheese into small squares and bake it till it forms a lacy circle

Whenever I am baking garlic bread, the excess cheese on the baking pan will become nicely crisp, golden and I love to scrape it out and eat. I didn't know that I can made a delicious cracker with just the cheese. I am going to try it now and enjoy 🙂

This looks wonderful. I've got soup plans later in the week and these will make the perfect finishing touch. There is a hamburger joint here that has lines out the door. Their burgers are nothing to write home about BUT the crisp cheddar on top is what draws people in - same idea, done on a griddle.
