How to Make Everything Bagel Cheese Chips

1. Preheat Oven

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Don’t skip the parchment—the cheese will stick like crazy otherwise!

2. Form the Chips

• Drop small mounds (about 1 tablespoon each) of shredded cheese onto the baking sheet, spaced at least 1 inch apart.
• Flatten them slightly into small circles.
• Sprinkle each mound with everything bagel seasoning (and any extras like garlic powder or red pepper flakes).

3. Bake Until Golden & Crispy

• Bake for 8–12 minutes, watching closely after 8 minutes.
• Chips should be bubbly and golden brown around the edges.

Baking time varies depending on cheese type and oven—Parmesan will crisp faster than mozzarella!

4. Cool & Crisp

• Remove from oven and let cool on the pan for 5–10 minutes.
• They’ll crisp up even more as they cool.
• Once firm, use a spatula to transfer to a plate or cooling rack.

🥑 What to Serve Them With

• Guacamole or keto hummus
• Cream cheese dip with herbs or jalapeños
• Salsa or low-carb marinara
• On top of soups or salads for a cheesy crunch
• Snack straight out of the container—no judgment

Variations & Add-Ins

• Spicy: Add cayenne or use pepper jack cheese
• Herby: Sprinkle with Italian seasoning + garlic powder
• Mini version: Use 1 teaspoon of cheese for bite-sized crisps
• Cheese mix: Blend cheddar + Parmesan for max flavor + crunch
• Dairy-free: Use shredded dairy-free cheese—some brands work great!

Storage & Make-Ahead Tips

• Room temp: Store in an airtight container for 3–4 days (if they last that long!)
• Re-crisp: Pop in the oven at 350°F for 2–3 minutes if they soften
• Freezer: Not recommended—they lose their crunch

FAQ

Can I make these in the microwave?
Yes! Place cheese mounds on a piece of parchment over a microwave-safe plate. Microwave for 1–2 minutes per batch until bubbly and golden. Let cool to crisp.

What’s the best cheese for super crispy chips?
Parmesan or a blend of Parmesan and cheddar—super thin, crunchy, and flavorful.

Are these keto-friendly?
Absolutely. Most cheese has 0–1g net carbs per serving, and everything bagel seasoning adds almost none.

Can I make these without everything bagel seasoning?
Totally! Try taco seasoning, ranch seasoning, Italian herbs, or just plain salt and pepper.
