Nothing more than sharp Irish cheddar and fresh chives, baked until golden and lacy — these frico-style crisps are essentially zero-carb and come together in under 15 minutes.
What You’ll Need
Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 110kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Irish cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh chives finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Toss the shredded cheddar with the chopped chives and black pepper.
- Drop tablespoon-sized mounds of the cheese mixture onto the baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart, and flatten each slightly.
- Bake for 5-7 minutes, watching closely near the end, until the edges turn deep golden brown and lacy.
- Let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring — they firm up as they cool and will tear if moved too soon.
