Mock Cheese Crackers
2 slices American cheese (not "cheese food")
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
2 ounces deli-sliced Colby-Jack cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Stack the slices of American cheese and cut it into 16 small squares. Separate the pieces, and transfer them to a small bowl. Add the salt, chili powder, and garlic powder toss to combine. Arrange the 32 cheese pieces in 4 rows of 8, on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving as much space in between each as possible.
Stack the Colby-Jack slices and cut them into about 24 small pieces. Arrange them on another parchment paper-lined baking sheet in 4 rows of 6—without any seasonings.
Bake both until well-browned and crispy, about 7 and 7 1/2 minutes. If undercooked, they'll be soggy, so don't be afraid to check them and put them back in for more time, if needed.
I also do this with parmesan cheese. They also taste good with low carb dips such as salsa.
