For best results, use a good quality, sharp Cheddar cheese. The sharper flavor complements the simple preparation. Ensure the cheese is shredded finely and evenly distributed for uniform melting and crisping. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; bake in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking. If the cheese spreads too thin or develops holes during baking, gently press it back together with a spatula while it's still warm. For added flavor, sprinkle the cheese with a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika before baking.
