📋 Ingredients:
- 🧅 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
- 🌿 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 🧀 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
- 🧈 2 tablespoons butter
- 🍞 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 🌿 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 🌿 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 🧂 Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 🥚 1 egg, beaten
📝 Directions:
Prepare the Onions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they are soft and caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Prepare the Cheese Mixture:
- In a bowl, combine the shredded cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
Assemble the Crisps:
- Once the onions have cooled, mix them into the cheese mixture until well combined.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into small, flat patties, about the size of a cookie.
- Dip each patty into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.
Bake the Crisps:
- Place the patties onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crisps are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy the cheesy, crispy goodness!
