These cheese crisps are incredibly simple to make—just three ingredients. Once you try them, store-bought crisps will feel unnecessary. They make a perfect keto chip, cracker, or snack. I used to buy pre-made cheese crisps to satisfy cravings, but making them at home takes only minutes and the flavor is superior.
How Easy Are These to Make?

Cheddar and parmesan are my top picks for these crisps. I usually mix them in equal parts: cheddar brings a mellow, familiar bite while parmesan adds a sharp, nutty flavor and browns slightly faster. Both cheeses are salty enough that you won’t need extra salt. Use roughly a tablespoon of cheese per crisp for best results.
The topping I use is Everything but the Bagel seasoning from Trader Joe’s. You can buy the TJ brand or make your own blend. This seasoning is versatile and works well sprinkled lightly over each cheese mound before baking.
I prefer using muffin tins to portion the crisps because they help create uniform rounds, but you can also drop the mixture onto parchment-lined sheet pans. If you have silicone muffin cups, they make popping the crisps out effortless.
Timing is important. In my oven, about six minutes at 400°F gives perfectly crisp, golden edges. Less time leaves them chewy; more time risks burning. Once baked, the crisps release easily from the pan. They can be slightly greasy on the bottom—blotting briefly with a paper towel removes excess oil.
These crisps are flavorful and attractive—perfect for serving at a casual gathering or adding crunch to a low-carb charcuterie board.

You can make the crisps thinner if you prefer an extra-fine crunch, but avoid making them too thick. The balance in thickness below yields a satisfying snap without being fragile.
