PARMESAN CRISPIES

                                         

Today’s recipe is a tasty garnish to add to salads or even soups.  For best results I recommend that you freshly grate your favorite parmesan cheese (my favorite is parmigiano  reggiano) .  However the already- grated  kind in the resealable bags works ok.  In my humble opinion, you should never use the powdered parmesan (that we all grew up with)---it is vile stuff!  Also use a silicone mat on your baking sheet  for best results, but you may also use a parchment lined baking sheet.   Another idea is to add your favorite dried herbs (or fresh—but they would need to be very finely minced).  You will be addicted to these little crisps---enjoy!

Ingredients:
Grated parmesan cheese

Instructions:
*Preheat oven to 400 degrees
*Prepare baking sheet
*For each parmesan crispy, place a heaping tablespoon of grated parmesan cheese onto the baking sheet.
*Place the little mounds of cheese about 2 inches apart.
*Bake for 4-5 minutes ---you’ll need to watch them carefully so they don’t get too brown.
*Allow to cool completely and enjoy.
