in your area - the new reynolds non-stick foil is perfect for making these. I tried them last week, and they came out perfect. With good cheddar, they really do taste like cheese nips! Unfortunately, they were a little rich for my stomach and after eating three, I felt a little ill.

Too bad, I really liked them!

MMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Should never read recipies late at night

Cut a one ounce cube in half of gouda, put it on a plate and cooked on high for 1 minute in the micro. The two pieces ran together and made a bread slice size piece. I did have a "wee" bit of trouble lifting them from the plate but not much.

Covered in salsa then.........tasted a bit of heaven! Thanks!

This is one snack that feels like cheating to me. It is very yummy and sometimes I just want flavor more than something to fill me up. This is a great comfort food! Better stock up on cheese!

Default uses for cheese chips

Hi there, I just had a couple "dishes" someone may have posted it already but it was do good I had to share:

Use a teflon pan and sharp cheddar cheese to make a single large cheese chip and before it gets too hard put chopped chicken, sour cream, minced green onion and bacon on on side, fold over and serve as a (I forget the name of those things made with tortillas)

Another thing to do with a single large tortilla is to break into crispy chips onto a plate, cover with spiced groudd beef, a blob of sour cream and guacamole and there you have nachos.

I am obsessed with these cheese chips, they are so good.

I bought a house brand of processed cheese to try the crackers with and stupidly didn't look at the carb count on them.. 2.3 per slice!!!! It does make great "puffy" crackers, though.

Are all American-type processed cheeses that high in carbs?

Hi, I just discovered cheese "crackers" this weekend. My favorite so far is Pepper Jack cheese "yum"! I've tried provolone, which is very good, American Cheese is good, and white cheddar cheese. These are my new favorite low carb snacks. They are so easy, I just pop them in the microwave and nuke them a minute per slice.

Default In case you guys missed it....

if you make a large one on a plate in the microwave (PAM, THAT is why I couldn't get that sucker up very easy, gotta try using PAM) and don't let it cool all the way before lifting it off, you can shape it into a taco shell... works GREAT!!! I had tacos the other day... and I tell you pepper jack cheese is AWESOME for it if you want some spice....

Yum, Yum, Yum....

Oh, and a good taco meat seasoning is Chi chi's brand restaurante fiesta seasoning packet... NO ADDED SUGAR OR STARCH!!!

As soon as I read how to make these they sounded so good I logged off and went to make some! Well I was waiting for the 12 minutes when the smoke alarm went off. They looked ready enough so I took them out. Well they are stuck to the wax paper! Melded! There was 3 minutes to go. Do they stick if they are underdone? Do you let them cool before trying to remove from the wax paper? So I am now trying to peel them off because there is no way I am going to trash all that expensive cheese but does anyone know how many carbs are contained per 100g of wax paper? Next time it will be on a cookie sheet with spray non-stick stuff. And there will be a next time as they are FABULOUS.

I've only ever made them in a teflon frying pan, but I definitely do NOT let them cool before removing - I made the mistake of doing that once and had crispy cheese crumbs as a snack because I had to pound them off the pan. Generally they stick to the frying pan if they're underdone... but underdone is relative. I like mine really crispy, but if I want them softer like for a taco shell then they're undercooked. If your cookie sheet is nonstick you might want to try it without the paper.. just take them off before they cool.

take care,
Meg (who is happy she has no cheese in the house right now because she would have the compulsion to make cheese crisps at 11pm!)

Hi everyone,

i've made these cheese crisps also in the oven and i'm definitely going to try the microwave version. When i made them in the oven, before i baked them, i sprinkled various seasonings on them. Garlic powder is wonderful on mozzarella or monterey jack. i have used Mrs. Dash, dill, oregano, basil, etc. i've even sprinkled a little curry powder on them. You can let your imagination run wild with seasonings. They are a wonderful, filling snack.

Another tip i got from a friend: instead of standing over a hot skillet, getting spattered by bacon grease, i now put bacon slices on a cookie sheet and bake them at about 325 for 10 minutes or so, depending on how crispy you want your bacon. Yes, eventually i'll have to clean my oven. You have to pour off the grease (and i generally pat the bacon with paper towels to remove excess grease). But it's a good way to make a bigger batch of bacon ahead of time. Then you can just nuke it or crumble it in an omlet or other dishes.

Take care and Have fun!
