I dont know who posted this but I came across this recipe and tonight I made it and it is soo yummy!

I take 1/2 cup of Fat Free Kraft Shredded Chedder cheese and 4 Tbsp of Parmasan Cheese and blend it in a food processor until its pretty fine tiny chunks almost powder like. I personally take a cookie sheet, cover it with foil and spray it with butter flavored pam but you can use any nonstick surface baking sheet or whatever. Take scoops of 1tsp each and press into little flat circles onto pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.

Yields 24 crisps = 4.2 oz cheese

170 calories, 6 fat, 0 sugar, 4 carbs, 26 Protein in 24 crisps!

Enjoy

I have some pepper jack cheese would that work with the parm

I watched the YouTube and made them and they are sooo good. My husband went gaga over them and wanted me to make the entire package of cheese! then my friend cam over and I made a slice and she went nuts cuz her husband is a Cheez Nips guy! Luv them.

Beachlover - I've seen posts not just here but elsewhere where people use all sorts of cheese so I say "go for it" - and of course let us know how it goes.

SleeveDreamer - I watched the video too and will definitely give it a try. What type of cheese slices did you use?

Thanks.

I used Kraft American slices for 65 seconds and then let them sit o the parchment paper for a minute to get harder.

Can someone post before & after pictures of these cheese crisps?? I need a visual, please!! Thanks.

There's a pic posted in the post above dated July 31, 2011. All you do is cut a slice into four strips and then subcut each strip into 4 squares. Click on the pic and watch the YouTube.

I was looking for pictures of the original recipe post.

Yum!!! I have to try this. I also saw on YouTube that you can make "cheese it's" in the microwave with sliced cheese. Here is the link:

These are wonderful. Even my kids love them. Thanks for sharing the link

shredded parmesan. Can't stand the fat free and I'm more worried about carbs than fat as long as I stay under 30 grams of fat for the day. If I go a little over on fat I don't worry. Carbs I have to keep low or weight loss slows. Good thing about cheese, no?

I have to watch the carbs also. Something else to add to this is pepperoni slices. A person could broil them on a cookie sheet first and then add the cheese as the pepperoni slices start to curl a bit, or it might work to cook them together. My gut tells me it might be better to add the cheese as the pepperoni is almost cooked up. I LOVE pepperoni slices! They are my snack of choice. ZERO carbs!!! Good source of Protein when I need a little in between filler too!

I found cheese crisps at Whole Foods recently, and I'm sure they're the same thing, just baked shredded parmesan cheese, but they're thicker than I've made them. Like everything at Whole Foods they were $$$ - need to get back in the kitchen to experiment again.

I LOVE pepperoni crisps. I do those in the microwave, just a bunch of slices on a paper plate and/or paper towels, micro until they stop sizzling. So yummy, so easy, and they make great "pizza" topping on Friday night (I make low carb flat bread or tortilla pizzas a-la Eggface).

This is another version of this recipe that I found in a low carb cookbook. No processing necessary.

Parmesan crisps

A piece of good parmesan, (and a bit of cheddar too if you like). Parmesan is a great source of Protein so choose one which has a lot of it. Pinch of cayenne pepper. Thats it.

1. Preheat oven to 190 deg C or gas mark 5

Cover a baking sheet with bakingt parchment or those clever silicone non-stick sheets.

2. Coarsely grate the parmesan and/or cheddar. Add a pinch of cayenne if you like a bit of heat with your crunch.

3. Pile the cheese onto the baking sheet in little clusters. Obviously they are going to spread as they melt and so make sure to space them far apart.

4. Stick them in the oven and watch them like a hawk, they only take a few minutes.The idea is for the melted cheese to spread and go a little crispy.

5. Allow crisps to cool and peel off. If they're melted into one big sheet, break it apart.

Depending on which type of cheese you use, and how much, plug into MFP or similar to find nutritional values.

I'm confused are these like cheese it's? And I'm 5 wks out today, when is good to eat these

I made these yesterday, they are SO GOOD!!!! Thanks for sharing.

Here's an update on what I've been doing. While I did try the original recipe and enjoyed it once I saw the posting about the YouTube video I watched it and it is so much easier to make and I've tried different cheeses. What I found is that 2% medium cheddar cheese slices by Sargento works best. They taste the most like cheese its and the recipe couldnt be easier in the microwave.

Simple directions are to take a slice of the cheese cut it into 16 little squares and put it on parchment paper. Put it in the microwave for 60 to 70 seconds and they're done. This has become my regular go to snack when I want something in between meals and slices generally have from 6 to 8 g of Protein. Like I said already to me the 2% medium cheddar slices by Sargento taste the most like cheese it's of all the types I've tried and it was the lowest in calories too.

Just bought something similar on amazon...excited to try!
