Ingredients
Scale
Cheese Mixture
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp onion powder
Optional Seasonings
- Garlic powder (to taste)
- Italian seasoning (to taste)
- Red pepper flakes (to taste)
- Sesame seeds (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, shredded Mozzarella cheese, egg, and onion powder. Stir together until the mixture is well blended. If desired, add optional seasonings such as garlic powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, or sesame seeds for extra flavor.
- Spread Mixture: Evenly spread and thinly layer the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form a uniform layer.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the bites become crispy.
- Cool and Cut: Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, cut into small, bite-sized pieces for serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding garlic powder, Italian seasoning, or red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture.
- Make sure to spread the cheese mixture thinly and evenly to ensure proper crispiness without burning.
- Allow the bites to cool fully before cutting to maintain their shape and texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to keep them crispy.
