These savory cheese and nut crisps are a delightful snack or appetizer, combining rich cheese flavors with a nutty crunch.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cheddar and parmesan cheeses.
Ensure the cheeses are evenly mixed for consistent flavor.
Drop spoonfuls of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
Use a spoon to create uniform portions for even cooking.
Flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon and sprinkle with chopped walnuts and thyme.
Press the toppings gently to ensure they stick to the cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until the crisps are bubbling and golden around the edges.
Keep an eye on the crisps to prevent over-browning.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a serving plate.
Allowing the crisps to cool helps them firm up for a better texture.
