Co-Jack Cheese Crisps

Ingredients:

  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • 1 package (8 ounces) finely shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese

Servings: 10 (4 crisps per serving)
Prep and Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Cost/recipe: $2.85
Cost/serving: $0.29

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly coat rimmed baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Place 2 teaspoons Colby-Monterey Jack cheese mounds 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Press mounds gently with fingers to flatten. Bake until mounds are thin, bubbly and golden, no more than 6 to 8 minutes*. Immediately transfer crisps to paper towels with a metal spatula. Serve when crisps have cooled completely.

*Baking too long will make crisps too hard and not easily removed from the baking sheet.

Tip: May be baked one day ahead and crisped before serving in oven at warm setting, for 4 to 5 minutes.
