“Chiprovoleta”: 2-Ingredient Cheese Breads

Ingredients

• 300 g Grated hard cheese (The recipe mentions Parmesan cheese; another hard, strongly flavored cheese that can be grated may be used.)
• 3 Egg whites (Use the whites separated from the yolks.)

Steps

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cheese breads from sticking.

2. 2

   If the cheese is not already grated, grate it finely. Place the 300 g of grated hard cheese in a bowl.

3. 3

   Add the 3 egg whites to the grated cheese.

4. 4

   Mix and knead with your hands until fully combined. A moist, pliable dough should form; there is no need to add flour or any other ingredient.

5. 5

   Divide the dough and shape it into approximately 10 small balls, gently compacting them so they hold their shape during baking.

6. 6

   Place the balls on the lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.

7. 7

   Bake at 180 °C for approximately 15 minutes, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

8. 8

   Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the breads rest for a few minutes before serving. The inside should remain softer than the outside.

Notes

The creator clarifies that the result is not exactly a traditional chipa, but has a flavor more reminiscent of provoleta. They are ideal for eating as a freshly baked savory snack.
