💡Tips
1. Don’t Skip Greasing The Muffin Tin
It might seem like a small step, but greasing your muffin tin is really important. If you forget to do this, your egg white chips might stick to the tin, and you’ll have a hard time getting them out without breaking them.
You can use cooking spray if you have it, or just rub a little melted butter or beef tallow in each cup of the muffin tin.
Make sure you cover the whole inside of each cup, not just the bottom. This will make it much easier to pop the chips out when they’re done cooking.
2. Experiment With Cheese Types
I recommend using shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese, but you don’t have to stick to just these. Different types of cheese can give your chips different flavors. Hard cheeses like Parmesan or aged cheddar can give a stronger, sharper taste.
Softer cheeses like Gouda or Havarti might make your chips a bit less crispy, but they’ll add interesting flavors. You could even try mixing two or three types of cheese together.
3. Let Them Cool
After you take the chips out of the oven, it’s important to let them cool before you try to eat them or store them.
I recommend letting them cool for about 5 minutes, but you might want to give them a bit longer. As they cool, they’ll continue to crisp up and their texture will improve.

FAQ
1. Why do we add water to the egg whites?
The water helps thin out the egg whites, making them spread better in the muffin tin. This creates a thinner layer that can crisp up more evenly.
Without the water, the egg whites might be too thick and won’t get that nice, crispy texture we’re looking for.
2. How do I know when the chips are done?
Look for three signs:
- The edges should be golden brown.
- The cheese should be melted and slightly crispy.
- The center should be set and not jiggly. They should look dry and crispy, not wet or shiny.

Egg white puff up when cooking. Need more information on how not to have an egg white puff with crispy cheese on top (yummy, but not chip like in any way).
