cheese crisps
Crunchy dairy snacks
Cheese crisps are thin, crispy snacks made entirely or primarily from baked or fried cheese.
The cheese is heated until it melts, spreads, and becomes crunchy: I made cheese crisps in the oven with parmesan.
Popular as a low-carb snack, they can be made at home or bought packaged.
In the American Southwest, cheese crisp also refers to a large flour tortilla covered with melted cheese—essentially an open-faced quesadilla.
