An American favorite, these chips are now the go-to for festive gatherings, sports-viewing sessions, or just an evening nibble.
What sets them apart? The genius use of a muffin top pan! Traditionally crafted for baking the crisp, curved tops of muffins, these pans have just the right shallow cavities to give our chips their unique shape.

Onion Cheddar Chips Recipe
Ingredients:
Fresh onions
Shredded cheddar cheese
Creole seasoning (or any other of your liking)
Procedure:
Ready your muffin top pan by giving it a light greasing. Warm up the oven to 375°F.
Distribute the shredded cheddar uniformly across each pan cavity.
After peeling the onions, cut them into ring shapes. Position a raw onion ring atop the cheddar layer, followed by a sprinkle of Creole (or your chosen) seasoning.
Bake for about 10-15 minutes until they turn a lovely golden hue. Keep an eye to avoid over-browning.
Once baked, place them on paper towels for draining. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to enhance the crispiness. Dive in!
