Heat up a non-stick skillet.

Add a small amount of olive oil.

Sprinkle some shredded 2% cheese directly into the skillet, I use the stuff that comes pre-shredded in a bag.

Do NOT use a lot of cheese, you should see spaces all over the place. I find that one healthy "pinch" is plenty, around 1 oz.

Cook it until the edges get nice and brown.

Remove and place on paper towels to get rid of the excess oil. Blot it immediately while still flexible to get rid of excess oils.

Let cool, it'll get stiff and crunchy in seconds.

If you did it right, it'll look like a big brown lace doily. :wink_smile:

Once it's cooled, it's a crispy as a potato chip, tastes like that yummy browned cheese on a pizza, 80 calories and 7g Protein. :smile:

Not something you should eat every day, but if you are going to "cheat" with something crunchy, you could do a lot worse.

Does it matter what kind of cheese it is? Is anything better than others? Cheddar? Colby Jack? Mozzarella? Swiss? It sounds wonderful. The only thing I have to battle as far as cravings and weakness is chips. I fail miserably every time. this sounds like a nice alternative.

I use the 2% cheddar or a mexican mix. Experiment, I bet others are good too!

We do this as well. We are major cheese heads at our house and the kids love them! They taste like a cheese nip. We have tried alot of cheese, but my fav is Jalapeno cheese slices. It is just bigger!! Yum
