Intro: Homemade Cheez-Its/Cheese Crisps

In this Instructable, I will show you how to make homemade Cheez-Its. I saw these being made on TikTok and thought they were fun so for those of you who haven't seen it, here you go. These cheez-its aren't like the storebought kind they are more of cheese crisps. They do taste kind of like them. They are Keto-friendly and gluten-free. If you love cheese give these a try, such an awesome Keto and gluten-free snack. If I can do it, you can do it. Let's get baking!

Don't forget to follow me and check out my other Instructables. :)

Follow the super easy steps below or watch the short video tutorial or do both. :)

STEP 1: Ingredients and Tools

Ingredients:

  • Cheese - Use Cheddar or a cheddar jack blend. Blocks or the pre-sliced sandwich size.
  • Pinch of salt

Tools:

  • Sheet pan
  • Parchment paper
  • Knife - I love using my cheese knife.

STEP 2: Cut the Cheese

Preheat the oven to 275F/135C.

Cut the cheese into little squares. Some people take the sandwich-sized slices of cheese and cut those into fourths. Those are nice because they are already the perfect thickness, which is right around 1/8th of an inch or so.

You can make them 2x2 inches or 1x1 inches. They won't keep their square shape, however.

STEP 3: Poke Holes?

Now line a sheet pan with parchment paper and place the cheese squares about an inch and a half apart.

Poke holes if you want in the middle with a straw. But, honestly, that doesn't matter as the cheese melts the hole gets filled in anyways, haha. But it looks cool before baking.

Next, sprinkle on a tiny bit of salt. Or you can leave the salt off entirely.

STEP 4: Bake and Eat

Now, bake the cheese in the oven, middle rack, for 20 to 25 minutes until it melts and gets a little brown around the edges.

Pull them out of the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes before eating them. They are nice and crunchy and taste very similar to cheez-its!
