Servings & Timing

Serves: 1–2 (depending on how many you make)
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients List

Provolone cheese, thinly sliced (about 6–8 slices)
Everything Bagel Seasoning (about 1 tablespoon, or to taste)
Optional: Olive oil spray or parchment paper for easier cleanup

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

2. Slice Provolone Cheese:

Thinly slice the provolone cheese into even pieces. You want the slices to be about ¼-inch thick to ensure they crisp up well.

3. Season the Cheese:

Place the cheese slices on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle Everything Bagel Seasoning evenly over each slice of cheese. Feel free to add more seasoning if you love the flavor!

4. Bake:

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese slices are golden and crispy. Keep a close eye on them as cheese can burn quickly once it’s fully crisped.

5. Cool and Enjoy:

Remove the crisps from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. They’ll continue to crisp as they cool down. Serve and enjoy your savory snack!
