These feta cheese crisps came to light all because some of my feta cheese fell into another area of my dish of food in the microwave.
The feta that was by itself became crispy like a chip and I loved it. No need to make cheese crisps in the oven anymore!
Recipe Tips
If you want a thicker crisp, use 10 grams of feta or somewhere between 5-10 grams of feta. I found that when I did the 10 grams, cooking between 6 to 7 minutes worked well.
The photos below used both sizes. The cooking times may also vary depending on the mold size you use.
Potassium
If you are eating keto, you know that you need potassium. Herbs can be one place to get them. Basil is one of those herbs that contain potassium.
In fact, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, there are 7 dried herbs that are high in potassium. These are chervil, coriander, parsley, basil, dill weed, tarragon, and turmeric (1). Dried basil has 2,630 mg of potassium per 100 grams (2).

These are ABSOLUTE WINNERS! I make these several times a week. So quick, so good. Love the crunch! BTW, this method works with cheddar, pepper jack, swiss, haloumi, as well as feta.

I love the idea but I don't like feta, do you know of other cheeses that would work?
Abby
Other cheeses would work. 🙂

I I don't care to microwave my food as I am trying to eat healthier, do you have an oven method? Thanks.
Abby
I haven't done it in the oven before. However, I would just experiment with it. Start with 350 F and check every 5 minutes.
