Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Begin by preheating your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C). |
| 2 | Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the Monterey Jack cheese into 1/4-inch thick slices. |
| 3 | Place the cheese slices onto a non-stick cookie sheet, ensuring they are spaced approximately 3 inches apart to allow room for spreading. |
| 4 | Sprinkle garlic powder generously over the cheese slices, adjusting the amount to suit your taste preferences. |
| 5 | Bake the wafers in the preheated oven for 5 to 10 minutes. Keep a close eye on them, as oven temperatures can vary. Avoid overbaking; the wafers should be golden brown and crispy. |
| 6 | Once baked to perfection, remove the wafers from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the cookie sheet. |
| 7 | Transfer the crispy wafers to an airtight container for storage, ensuring they are completely cooled before sealing the container. |

Recipe Notes:
