These are very quick & easy Cheese Crisps...using rice crispy cereal...
Cheese Crisps
Yield: 2 dozen
Ingredients:
7 tbsp butter, at room temperature
8 oz gruyere or cheddar cheese, shredded
3.5 oz all purpose flour (about 2/3 cup)
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup crispy rice cereal
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Beat together the butter and cheese until combined. Add the flour, cayenne, and salt and beat until you get a crumbly dough. Add the rice cereal and beat briefly just to combine (don’t overbeat or you might break up the rice crisps).
Use a disher to portion out 1 tbsp amounts of dough, and place onto a sheet pan (it will look like a pile of rubble). Use a fork to hash and compact it down. Bake for about 15 minutes, until lightly browned. Let them cool, and enjoy!
That’s very clever. Do you tamp them down so they come out sort of like crackers, or wafers?
