Easy peasy cheese crackers

Super easy….take a slice of white American cheese, divide it into quarters. Turn over a glass/pyrex pie plate (bottom up), spray with pam, put the 4 slices of cheese on it and put in the microwave for one minute. They turn into these yummy cheese crackers. Lots of bang for very little effort!
