Getting Started

For crispy cheddar results, bake shredded cheese on parchment paper at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and bubbling. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
When using gluten-free flour blends for baked goods like biscuits or scones, ensure the blend contains xanthan gum for structure. If not, add 1/4 teaspoon per cup of flour.
To prevent baked cheese from sticking to pans, always use parchment paper or a well-oiled, oven-safe non-stick surface. This is especially important for pure cheese crisps.
Choose a good quality sharp or extra-sharp cheddar. These varieties typically melt smoothly and offer a more pronounced flavor that stands up well to baking, enhancing the overall dish.
