Ingredients
- 200 grams Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 piece Egg white
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine shredded Monterey Jack cheese, all-purpose flour, and softened unsalted butter. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is crumbly.
Step 3
Add the egg white to the mixture and stir until it forms a dough-like consistency.
Step 4
Season the dough with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Step 5
Scoop out teaspoon-sized portions of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches of space between each portion.
Step 6
Using the back of a spoon or your fingers, gently flatten each portion into a thin round wafer, about 2 inches in diameter.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the wafers are golden and crispy around the edges.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the wafers to cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve the Monterey Jack Crispy Wafers as a snack, appetizer, or a crunchy topping for soups and salads.
