Ingredients

2 slices American cheese (not "cheese food")
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 ounces deli-sliced Colby-Jack cheese
Low-carb salsa, as needed

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Stack the slices of American cheese and cut it into 16 small squares. Separate the pieces, and transfer them to a small bowl. Add the salt, chili powder, and garlic powder toss to combine. Arrange the 32 cheese pieces in 4 rows of 8, on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving as much space in between each as possible.

Stack the Colby-Jack slices and cut them into about 24 small pieces. Arrange them on another parchment paper-lined baking sheet in 4 rows of 6—without any seasonings.

Bake both until well-browned and crispy, about 7 and 7 1/2 minutes. If undercooked, they'll be soggy, so don't be afraid to check them and put them back in for more time, if needed.

Cool the crisps and crackers completely before serving—as they cool, they'll crisp up. Store on the counter in an airtight container for a few days.

Surprisingly really good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these and was a bit skeptical about whether or not they'd actually be any good. I was pleasantly surprised..they were... delicious! I only wish I would have read the reviews first because I agree that 1/2 tsp. of salt is too much. I'd cut back on the salt next time or take it out altogether. I can see myself making these to snack on while watching movies!Read more

Look Good but didn't get to eat!
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The crackers look great, sitting there on the parchment paper, but how in the world am I supposed to get them off??? They... are completely stuck to the paper. Anyone have a good idea of what I should do next time?Read more

Great snack
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The cheese crisps were great...the only problem is that we would make a whole batch and then eat them right away. They were... great snacks.Read more

This is a great thing for people who miss the crunch of crackers. I make these often and snack on them.
