Smoked jack cheese turned into cheese crispy's

Instructions: Preheat oven to 350. Grate smoked or regular cheese on parchment paper (very important, do not use foil or wax paper). Leave 2-3 " between each pile for they will spread out. Topped with a little dry herb such as thyme and pepper. No salt because cheese is typically already pretty salty. Cook 6-8 minutes, watch carefully to not let it burn. Take out when brown and bubbly. That's it. Any firm cheese will typically work. You can put extra crispy's in a ziplock for next day's breakfast, lunch & dinnah!

Very useful recipe when the spouse starts complaining "Honey, we have too much smoke cheese in the fridge". This will quiet them down big time.

Those look good. I've done larger ones, about 7", and when they are almost done fill with beef or chicken and fold. You have a taco shell made of cheese! Incredible!
 
Yes, I've read where folding them over into a mini taco to fill with is very popular,  but love your idea of making a big one and fill with beef moments before you fold it in half.
 
Here's some smoked mozzarella crispys with just a little pepper and no dried thyme, this time :biggrin:

As you can see, they melted differently as compared to the Jack crispys, but I like the flavor a little better. They'll be hauled to a SF Giants game tonight.

I'll be doing these after I smoke some Pepper Jack this fall.
 
Guess what?  This weekend I'll be doing some more with.........Pepper Jack that I smoked earlier this month.
 
OK, recently I've been hearing rumblings from the cheese department of my fridge, specifically from Smokey Pepper Jack and Smokey Cheddar saying that they are tired of all the attention Jack and Mozzi have been getting from this thread and demand their share of the limelight.

So here you go guys. Enjoy the red carpet treatment until you cool down a little more then it's wolf time.

After consuming a couple of each, I will say that the cheddar is too soft but the Pepper Jack is nice and crunchy but also has it's infamous Pepper kick. Wow!
