Essential Ingredient- 1 slice of cheese
Optional Ingredient- 2-3 pinches of sugar (if you prefer sweetness)
- 2-3 pinches of sugar (if you prefer sweetness)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Line a microwave-safe plate with parchment paper. Cut the slice of cheese into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on the parchment paper. Spreading them out without overlapping will help them cook more evenly.
Step 2
Now it’s time to use the microwave! Place the cheese on the prepared plate into the microwave and start cooking.
Step 3
To prevent burning, it’s best to microwave in short intervals. Aim for a total of about 1 minute and 30 seconds, microwaving for 10 seconds at a time. It’s crucial to open the microwave door and check the cheese’s progress between each interval.
Step 4
This part is quite fun! Haha.
Step 5
Initially, the cheese will melt and might look a bit unusual in shape. Don’t worry; we’ll continue the process.
Step 6
Open and close the microwave door, microwaving in 10-second bursts for a total of 1 minute and 30 seconds, or until the cheese becomes crispy. This method of microwaving in short, spaced-out intervals is the secret to achieving crispy, non-burnt cheese crisps.
Step 7
If you check midway, you’ll see the cheese puffing up and transforming into thin, crisp-like shapes. Isn’t it fascinating?
Step 8
Once the cheese reaches this appearance and color, it’s almost done. I microwaved mine for 1 minute and 30 seconds, then added another 10 seconds. Adjust the time based on the thickness of your cheese and your microwave’s power.
Step 9
Carefully remove the finished cheese crisps from the microwave and let them cool completely. They might still be slightly soft while hot, but as they cool, they will become wonderfully crispy. Skipping the cooling step can result in a chewy texture, so be sure to let them cool fully!
Step 10
My sibling also loved these cheese crisps I made, saying they were delicious! They are definitely a perfect snack for children.
Step 11
If you find the cheese too salty or rich, a light sprinkle of sugar over the finished crisps can add a touch of sweetness, creating a different flavor profile. Enjoy them in your preferred way!
