cheese crisps
Here’s a good snack in moderation:
Parmesean crisps
1 to 1 1/2 pound block Parmesan cheese
optional: fresh herbs, a pinch of cayenne and/or fresh ground pepper
Pam cooking spray
Grate entire block of Parmesan. Spray baking sheet with Pam spray and arrange
grated cheese in flat, cookie-sized circles. Use less than a quarter cup cheese
per crisp.
Bake in a 425-degree oven until cheese just barely begins to brown, about 3 to 4
minutes. Remove quickly to a cookie rack for cooling, then blot on paper towel
if needed. Can be made ahead and stored in airtight containers. Output varies by
weight of cheese and size of circles. They crisp up as they cool.
