What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Next Step: Alpine Cheese Crisps! If you ever get the munchies but want a low-carb snack, here’s something you can make at home in a matter of minutes. Not only that, it saves you the cost of paying for the prepackaged varieties available in the deli department of your favorite grocery store. Go to the refrigerator because you can take an ordinary slice of Swiss cheese and transform it into a thin crunchy chip, simply by using the microwave. No kidding. Add a sprinkling of grated parmesan cheese plus a smidgen of garlic and rosemary for a gourmet finish. The secret? Be sure to use parchment paper.
ALPINE CHEESE CRISPS
Ingredients:
8 ounces Alpine Swiss cheese, sliced
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 smidgen garlic powder
1 teaspoon rosemary leaves
Instructions:
In a small bowl, mix parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and rosemary leaves. Set aside. Trim a piece of parchment paper to the size of a microwave-safe plate. Break one slice of Swiss cheese into small pieces over the parchment paper, forming a pile. Sprinkle parmesan cheese mixture on top. All microwave ovens cook differently so begin with 1 1/2 minutes on full power. Then microwave 20-30 seconds longer until the cheese is crisp and golden. Remove plate from oven and allow cheese crisp to cool to the touch. Carefully transfer cheese crisp to a wire rack. Reuse parchment paper. Repeat process until all cheese is used. Store at room temperature.
Good idea to use the microwave as I always bake them! Delicious with tomato soup, grazing tables and make little ones for your salads 🙂

These are too addictive, so I make them very rarely. But your method using the microwave will allow me to make a small batch at a time, so that’s great! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

So delicious, one of the best ways to use cheese, IMHO. And (almost) too easy in the microwave. Thanks, Gail!
