Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
Binding Ingredient:
- 1 egg
Seasoning:
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Arrange the oven rack in the center position and heat to 350°F (175°C), ensuring even temperature distribution for consistent baking.
- Select a clean mixing bowl and add grated Parmesan and Mozzarella cheeses, carefully incorporating the egg and onion powder to create a uniform, cohesive mixture.
- Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper, smoothing out any wrinkles to guarantee a flat surface for cheese spreading.
- Gently transfer the cheese blend onto the prepared parchment, using a spatula to distribute the mixture into an ultrathin, nearly transparent layer that will crisp evenly.
- Position the baking sheet in the preheated oven and monitor closely as the cheese transforms, watching for golden-brown edges and a lacy, translucent appearance.
- Remove from the oven when the chips reach a delicate, crisp texture, allowing them to rest and firm up for several minutes on the baking sheet.
- Carefully lift the parchment paper and snap the cheese chips into irregular, bite-sized pieces, ready to be enjoyed as a protein-packed, low-carb snack.
Notes
- Customize the cheese blend by mixing different hard, aged cheeses like Pecorino or Asiago for unique flavor profiles.
- Use a silicone mat instead of parchment paper for easier removal and more consistent baking results.
- Experiment with spice combinations like garlic powder, paprika, or dried herbs to elevate the chip’s taste without adding extra carbs.
- Store cooled cheese chips in an airtight container at room temperature
