In keeping with our "cheesy" theme this week, here is a very fun and yummy recipe for your holiday entertaining from Midwest Dairy! Say cheese ya'll!
Ingredients
3 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
3 cups parmesan cheese, grated
3 teaspoons chili powder (or to your taste)
2 whole avocados, seeded and scooped out of peel
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime, juiced
1/3 teaspoon cumin, ground
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400. Line two half sheet baking pans with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, stir together cheeses and chili powder. Drop heaping tablespoons of cheese mixture onto baking sheets in 8 equal
portions (the cheeses will spread as they melt so leave space between each portion). Place baking sheets in the oven and bake for 8 minutes or until cheese begins to brown at the edges (watch them carefully to prevent burning).
Remove baking sheets from oven and transfer cheese crisps to paper towels to drain and cool (cheese will become crisp once cool).
Repeat baking process two more times, or until all of the cheese mixture is baked.
While crisps cool, combine avocados, yogurt, cilantro leaves, lime juice, cumin and salt in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth.
Serve crisps immediately with creamy avocado dip or your favorite salsa.
