Try these cheese crisps as a great dip for low-carb salsa, and enjoy the Mock "Goldfish" Crackers as an anytime snack, great for the grab and go!
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.

We love this recipe! Because I had some shredded cheese that I needed to use up, I tried it before the cheeses called for. We actually like these better. I believe it was the Kraft Mexican 4 cheese shredded cheese. I omitted the seasoning all together, but on some I did lightly salt and pepper. Great!

I should have followed my first instinct on this recipe as written. Although I love salt, with 1/2 teaspoon of salt to 2 slices of cheese, these were too salty to eat. and I had to toss them. I Of course now that I read other reviews, they are saying the same thing! I guess I will SKIP the salt next time.
