Step 1

Beat together the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peak form.

Step 2

Add the salt and shredded cheese and salt, and slowly mix together with the egg whites/meringue.

Step 3

Don't mix so much that you deflate the air bubbles in the meringue.

Step 4

Spoon or pipe small bite-size dollops onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 5

Bake at 275 degrees F for 30 minutes, then shut the oven off, but leave the door closed.

Step 6

While leaving the oven door closed, allow the cheese meringue "popcorn" to sit in the oven for an additional 1-2 hours to achieve the desired results.

Step 7

Serve and enjoy!
