Crispy Microwave Cheese Bites

This Cheese crisps recipe using the Microwave method is one of my go-to snack recipes.  It is so simple to make. I try different kinds of cheese for this recipe, and you should too, for your taste.  Today, I use Mexican five-cheese because it is budget-friendly.  A quick, crunchy snack that’s perfect on its own or as a garnish for soups and salads.

Ingredients:

  • 10 tablespoons shredded Mexican five‑cheese blend
  • 1 sheet parchment paper (cut to fit your microwave turntable)

Directions:

1.    Preparing the parchment: Place it on your microwave turntable.

2.    Forming the bites: Spoon about 1 tablespoon of cheese onto the parchment, spacing each mound 1 inch apart.

3.    Cooking: Microwave on high for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese turns golden and crisp. (Cooking time may vary depending on your microwave.)

4.    Cooling: Let the crisps rest for 1–2 minutes to firm up.

5.    Serving: Enjoy as a snack or use as a crunchy topping for soups, salads, or casseroles.

Tips & Variations:

  • Try different cheeses like Parmesan, cheddar, or mozzarella for unique flavors.
  • Sprinkle with herbs (oregano, basil, or chives) before microwaving for extra flair.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
