“BONNIE CHIPS” 

(Phase 1 Friendly!)

~  It is very important to read this recipe through before making it!  ~

Prep time: 5-7 minutes   Cook time: see below   Serving Size: depends*   Yields: depends**

                       

INGREDIENTS (FOR BASIC BATTER RECIPE):

½ cup water (maybe more for consistency)

1 Packet IP Plain Pancake (Crepe) Mix

½ cup IP Southwest Cheese Curls

   (thoroughly crushed with a rolling pin while

   still in the IP Packet)

1 Large Egg White

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

½ teaspoon Real Salt

½ teaspoon Dry mustard

               PLUS… See “Recipe Options” below!

DIRECTIONS:  Pre-heat oven to 400°F

1) Spray 1 or 2 cookie sheets with Olive Oil spray and set aside

2) Place all above ingredients in an immersion blender and blend for 15-30 seconds

3) Let sit for 3-5 minutes because it thickens; it should be the consistency of thin pancake batter

4) Using a teaspoon, drop batter onto the cookie sheets, consistently the size of a dime or quarter, leaving about 1-1½ inches between each drop; the batter will appear too watery…not to worry!

*5) Bake in oven for 6-12 minutes, depending on the size.  Remove while center of ‘chip’ is still light in color and outer edges are browned.  Taste the chips, decide how light or dark you prefer them, then modify the size and time in the oven.  WATCH THESE VERY CLOSELY, they can burn easily!

Recipe Options:  This recipe lends itself easily to a wide variety of tastes; onion powder, garlic powder, dill weed, chili powder, cayenne powder, curry powder, etc…just use your imagination!  Once the basic batter is made it can be divided into small bowls and you can season each bowl differently until you find your favorite.  The amount of spice will make a difference too.  I suggest starting with

¼ - ½ teaspoon for ¼ of the basic batter recipe…bake just a few at a time until you find your “Perfect Combination.” 

IP Products:  IP Plain Pancake (Crepe) Mix, ½ Packet IP Southwest Cheese Curls

Phase 1 serving: Depends on the size of the chips and how many you end up with; there will be A LOT. Consistency matters! Make your batch of chips and divide into equal amounts. The total will be divided by 3 because you used 1 ½ *Restricted Protein plus one teaspoon of your daily requirement of olive oil.
