How are these cheese crisps different than nuking a slice of cheese? Dr. Bernstein gave that tip in one of his books and that's how I've eaten cheese ever since! I'll have to try the oven method this weekend.
Yep, I think Dr. Bernstein is the source! Smart man! I only use the oven because I make up a large bag at once.

I made a big tray of these to take to a house party, only I put a slice of smoked sausage in the middle of the pile. Yea they were greasy, but a whole pound of cheese and a 1/2 lb of sausage was gone in a flash.

I aslo made a dipping sauce for them:

1/4 cup of yellow mustard
1/4 cup of Red Hot sauce
splash of Worchestershire sauce
few drops of apple cider vinegar
tablespoonful of zesty blue cheese dressing
Splenda to sweeten to taste.

This sauce has a kick and is quite tangy, really good on those cheese crisps.

I found a new varition of the cheese crisps. I found the basic recipe on the blog
Comfy Belly. I was looking for something that tasted similar to Doritoes and this comes pretty close

Natcho Cheese Crisps

1 cup of shredded cheese ( I used monterry jack)
1 cup almond meal
1/4 t sea salt
1/2 t chili powder
1/4 t chipolte chil powder
1/4 t garlic powder
1/4 t smoked papkria
3 T of water

Mix dough together. I used my hands and place on a silicone baking sheet. Cover with parchment paper and roll as thin as possible. The thinner you roll it the crispier they will be. Then use a pizza cutter to score lines. I made squares and then scored diagonal to make triangles like Doritoes. I then sprinkled it with a little more chili and smoked paprika. Bake 350 for 15-20 minutes or until crisp. Cool on wire rack. When storing them be careful to leave in an open container otherwise they will get soft.

These are great!! Just tried these using shredded Monterey Jack cheese and am amazed how crunchy they get. There is NO comparison with these and the other way I've made 'cheese crisps' --- I use a whole slice of 2 % cheese (maybe I need to cut in smaller pieces?) and it comes out really puffy and light - no way it would hold up to any dip.

I'm doing well today, made the Hollandaise sauce with my eggs this morning and now the cheese crisps! Both were great. :D

Switch to full fat cheese . . . reduced fat is just increased carbs.

I've only made the cheese crisps in the microwave and they come out great. The first time I made the mistake of putting them on waxed paper instead of parchment paper. The cheese bonded with the wax paper. So now I use the parchment paper or a coated paper plate. It is really quick. When I make my cheese/almond meal crackers similar to Doritoes I bake them, because I do a whole tray at once.

I think there's a certain type of foil that works - Quick Release, or something like that from Reynolds Wrap. But you should be able to find parchment paper in the same aisle as the foil . . . I know I forgot the parchment once & I actually bent a stainless steel turner trying to get the crisps off the pan.
Costco sells a baking mat that replaces parchment paper. I will try them tonight!
