Mock Goldfish Cheese Puffs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 slices American cheese (use Deluxe type, not reduced fat or fat-free)
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon chili powder, to taste
1/8 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, to taste

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0F.
Stack the slices of cheese and cut into 16 small squares.
Separate the pieces and place next to each other on a flat surface.
Combine the salt, chili powder and garlic powder.
Sprinkle seasoning mix onto cheese.
Toss the cheese to thoroughly season both sides of cheese.
Arrange the cheese squares on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between the squares.
Bake about 7 - 7 1/2 minutes, until well-browned and crispy.
Cool completely (they will crisp a bit as they cool).
Store in airtight container on countertop.
Note: watch carefully as undercooking will yield soggy puffs and overcooking will yield burnt crisps.
