Can anyone post a recipe for cheese chips?  I know there have been some posted in the past, but since I can't get the search function to work....

Thanks.

The way I make them is easy:  grate cheese on to a medium hot fry pan, leaving some space between the clumps of cheese.  As the cheese cooks it melts and then gets crispyLet them cool on some paper towels so you blot some of the oil up and then enjoy.

Here is a recipe I copied and pasted from OH a year ago. Hope you like it, they are very good. I didn't write it, someone else here did.

Use a block of Parm-Reggiano and I also add in Irish Dubliner cheese (OMG! If you haven't tried this.. I highly recommend it! It lasts a long time and has such a great taste!!!)

Grate about 1 1/2 cup of hard cheese (parmesan/reggiano), or any other hard type of cheese. After you grate them, add 1 egg to the mix with 1 tablespoon of flour. Add a little bit of pepper (usually do not have to add salt because the cheese tends to have a decent amount of salt). 

Heat your oven to 400 degrees. 

I use a my favorite pampered chef pizza stone to bake them on...they dont burn and area easily removed without breaking. You can use a regular pan but make sure you use some non-stick spray. 

Scoop a bit of the cheese mixture into your palm and form into a cracker size round. 
Place them about an inch apart. I can usually make at least a dozen or so. If you want to triple the batch, you can do so and freeze them and use them in the future. 

Bake them for about 5-7 minutes. They will spread about a bit so make sure you place the cheese rounds about 2 inches apart.

You should keep an eye on them. You can tell when they are ready when the aroma of cheese fills the air and they are a bit bubbly. You don't want them to be too brown around the edges or too dark. That means they will taste a bit burned. 

Take them out of the oven when they are melted and just a little brown on the edges. Remove from the pan immediately and place on a cooling rack. 

VOILA!!! You have cheese rounds that are a good source of protein. I tend to add toppings to them like proscuito and cucumber... or if you want, you can add pepperoni (tastes like a little cheese pizza!). I have also served them with hummus and even guacamole... Whatever you like as a topping. 

Hope this helps! 
They are so easy to make AND there is something about cheese that is a comfort food. Heck, I even have been known to take mozeralla cheese, herbs and garlic and baked them in a pan using the broiler just to eat the gooey-cheese! LOL

I don't have a pizza stone, so I used a regular baking sheet pan covered with foil and sprayed with Pam.

I eat these babies ALL THE TIME!!!!! 

Try different spices and different ingredients in your "chips"!

Cheese Chips

-extra old cheddar, jarlsberg, swiss, mozza (I find this cheese a little soft so I generally blend it with a nice old cheddar) or parm cheese
-pumpkin, sesame or sunflower seeds (optional)
-½ tsp. onion powder
-½ tsp. garlic powder
-½ tsp. of your favorite hot spice (optional)

-Toss ingredients together.
-Place little clumps on non-stick cookie sheet & bake at 400º for approximately 6 minutes until flat, hard, & crisp - not burned so KEEP AN EYE ON THEM!!!!!
-Remove with spatula & place on rack to cool.


Note~ I add all sorts of things to these babies! I really like them with ham, pepperettes or salami (cut very small...actually I give the meat a quick whiz in my food processor).
