Preheat the oven: Set it to 375°F (190°C).
A properly heated oven helps the cheese melt evenly and crisp without burning.
Line your pan: Place parchment paper or a silicone baking mat on a baking sheet. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy.
Portion the cheese: Drop 1 tablespoon mounds of shredded cheese on the sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between each. They’ll spread as they melt.
Flatten slightly: Gently pat each mound into a thin circle, about 2 to 2.5 inches wide.
Thinner circles mean crisper chips.
Season generously: Sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over each round. Use about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per crisp, depending on your taste.
Bake: Place the tray on the middle rack. Bake for 6–10 minutes until the edges are deep golden and the centers look set, not wet.
Cool on the pan: Let the crisps sit for 2–3 minutes to firm up.
They’ll be fragile right out of the oven.
Transfer to a rack: Use a thin spatula to move them to a cooling rack. As they cool, they’ll become perfectly crisp.
Adjust seasoning (optional): While still warm, add a tiny pinch of extra seasoning if you want a stronger flavor.
Repeat with remaining cheese: If needed, bake a second batch. Avoid overcrowding; space helps them crisp properly.
