Tip:
For the crispiest cheddar cheese chips. Spread about 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese thinly. And evenly in each muffin top circle. Ensuring it’s not piled too high. To avoid uneven cooking. And chewiness. Using a silicone baking mat. Instead of nonstick spray. Can help with easy removal. And even browning. Keep a close eye on the baking time. Starting to check at 9 minutes. As the cheese can quickly go from golden brown to burnt. Once baked. Let the chips cool in the pan. For a couple of minutes. Before transferring them to a paper towel-lined plate. To drain excess oil. Ensuring they remain crispy.
