"Super crispy and cheesy, these are easy to make as a snack or as a light lunch with a green salad."

Well, I must say, this was a nice change for me. I made 3 for lunch today for hubby & I. I've been making Cheese Crisps for 30 years and never once thought about "baking" them. I've always made them in a skillet on the stove-top. I've always used the same ingredients that Lynn does (I put the jalepeno's "under" the cheese) and always serve them with Pace Picante Sauce drizzled over the top. YUMMY! I used my own Recipe #513631 to make these. I liked this "baked" method because I can make more than one at a time (as I do with the skillet method). If only making one for myself, I will probably still use the skillet rather than heating up the oven, but this is a great way to make 3 at a time. Thanks for posting. (Made for PAC 2014)
