Instructions

    1.
    Place the cheddar cheese on a dish and set it in your freezer for approximately 1 hour, or until fully frozen. This step is crucial for achieving the desired crumbly texture.
    2.
    Once the cheddar is frozen solid, pulse it in a food processor until it resembles breadcrumbs. Set the processed cheddar aside, preferably back in the freezer, until needed to maintain its texture.
    3.
    In a stand mixer, whip 2 egg whites on high speed with the cream of tartar. Whip until stiff peaks form. Using room-temperature eggs will significantly speed up this process.
    4.
    Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Gently fold the frozen cheddar crumbles into the whipped egg whites, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Transfer the resulting Cheato mix into a plastic piping bag.
    5.
    Snip a small corner off the piping bag. Pipe the Cheato mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, creating small, elongated shapes. This recipe yields approximately 45-50 Cheatos.
    6.
    Bake the Cheatos for approximately 25 minutes. The edges should turn golden brown, the Cheatos will puff up, and they should easily move when you gently shake the baking sheet.
