Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips
- Grate Your Own Cheese: Pre-grated cheese often contains anti-caking agents that can affect the texture and the ability to melt.
- Chop Pecans Finely: For a consistent texture chop the pecans into small, even pieces or use the pre-chopped store-bought nuts
- Watch the Cooking time: Cheese can go from perfectly crispy to burnt quickly. Keep an eye on the crisps as they bake until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool Completely: Let the crisps cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.
