Steps
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Cut the cheese: Stack a few slices and cut each slice into 9 small squares. From 5 slices, you’ll get about 45 crisps total. (Feel free to scale up or down — this recipe is a breeze!)
Arrange: Place cheese squares on the baking sheet with at least 1–2 inches of space between each one — they spread as they bake!
Bake: Bake for about 7 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown around the edges.
Season: As soon as you pull them out, sprinkle with your favorite seasonings while they’re still hot and melty — this helps the flavorings stick.
Cool: Let crisps cool directly on the pan for at least 10 minutes — they’ll firm up into perfectly crunchy bites.
