Ingredients

• 1/2 cup grated parmesan (or any hard cheese like gouda or cheddar)
• Optional: pepper, garlic salt, or rosemary

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400F

2. Pour a heaping tablespoon of Parmesan onto a silicone or parchment lined baking sheet and lightly pat down. A silicone baking sheet is highly recommended. Repeat with the remaining cheese, spacing the spoonfuls about a 1/2 inch apart.

3. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes until golden. Remove and cool

Tips and other suggestions:

• Make sure to flatten the mounds of grated cheese as much as possible to avoid them spreading out while cooking. Aim for a uniform, thin-as-possible texture so they cook evenly.
• Don’t be afraid to mix in seasonings or spices with your shredded cheese. Adding black pepper and garlic salt creates a great aroma and is an easy way to boost the flavor.
• Use parchment paper to prevent the cheese crisps from sticking to the pan and to stop the cheese from getting too hard.
• Let the crisps cool after removing them from the oven. You can simply transfer the parchment from the pan to the counter top – and then the perfect party snack is just a few minutes away.
• As for the pâté, traditional holiday favorites like Duck Rillette, Goose Liver Mousse, and Truffle Mousse taste fabulous alongside cheese.
