Instructions
- You can make the cheese crisps a few ways; in the oven, in a large skillet, or on a flat top griddle.
- I have made the crisps on a sheet pan in the oven, and on the flat top, but however you make them, split each amount of cheese into two and put onto your cooking surface.
- Add half of the asiago and top with half of the shredded cheddar cheese and cook the crisps on medium-high heat (425 degrees F), watching it melt, then flip when the edges begin to lightly brown, crisping up the other side.
- Cook for a few minutes on the other side, until that side crisps up.
- Remove each disc and place on some paper towel, letting any excess grease from the cheese absorb into the towel.
- Eat one.
- Now stop, as they might be a bit addicting.
- When you are ready to cook your burgers, shape your burger patties, and place them on a preheated grill, or flat top over medium high heat.
- Cook the burgers over direct heat for 3-4 minutes per side or to your desired level of doneness.
- When you normally add the cheese for melting, add a cheese crisp on the patty, top with American cheese (optional), and continue to cook until the American cheese begins to melt.
- We fully loaded our burgers (with cooked bacon, caramelized onions and sliced avocado on top but use whatever toppings you prefer).
- A couple of family members requested a topping of feta cheese (I labeled as the triple threat) to their grilled burgers.
- However they were topped, there was something about the cheese crisp that stood out.
- Something amazing.
- Fun, exciting, and packed full of flavor, the cheese crisp simply put, made it spectacular.
- They are great as a simple stand alone snack, but even better when placed on a burger.
- I hope you try it and enjoy as much as everyone else did.
