Cheddar Cheese Crisps

Aug 7, 2023 (updated Aug 21, 2025) (5 Comments)

Cheddar Cheese CrispsMelting shredded cheddar cheese into cheese crisps is one of the first chip tricks I learned when venturing into alternate ways of baking and cooking grain free.

I have an older recipe for cheese chips that works with a variety of hard cheeses, however I recently found I can bake shredded cheddar at a higher temperature and still get them fairly evenly baked chips without burning the edges.

I use sharp white cheddar and the chips turn yellow after baking, but feel free to use any cheddar you prefer. I recently riffed on this recipe to create cheesy tostadas, so check that recipe out as well. Enjoy (and make extra)!

Cheddar Cheese Crisps

Have at least 4 ounces of cheddar cheese, and more is better because frankly these are that good. I buy a block of cheese and shred it to insure there are no additives.
I prefer Sharp white cheddar but any kind will work here.

    I’ve tried Parmesan crisps from the store and been underwhelmed! These sound intriguing. Thank you: I’ll give them a try. I think the flavor of cheddar will be more to my personal liking.

      Hi Sidney, yes, I've found the cheddar crisps are quite tasty, especially if you use a sharp cheddar.
