What do I need?
For the Spicy Yoghurt Sauce
- 1 cup Greek yoghurt
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 clove garlic
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
For the Cheese Crisps
- 3 large fresh jalapeno chillies
- 2 cups extra tasty cheddar, grated
- 1 cup parmesan, grated
How do I make it?
- Make the Spicy Yoghurt Sauce first by adding all yoghurt, sriracha, paprika and garlic to a food processor and blitzing to combine. Taste and season as desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Preheat oven to 180C.
- Line 2 baking trays or cookie sheets with baking paper.
- Mix cheddar and parmesan together in a bowl. Set aside.
- Wearing gloves, slice the ends of the jalapeno and use a sharp knife to remove the seeds, then cut into thin rings.
- Use a tablespoon to scoop out cheese, and shape it on the baking trays into rough rounds. Leave space between each round as the cheese will spread during cooking.
- Place a slice of jalapeno in the middle of each cheese round.
- Bake until the crisps are browned on the edges, about 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely on the tray before moving using a spatula.
TOP TIPS
- Jalapenos can cause discomfort to sensitive skin and eyes so protect yourself with gloves when handling them.
- The Crisps are best served soon after baking for maximum crispness. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for 3 days.
- The Spicy Yoghurt Sauce will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for 1 week.
