Ingredients
- ½ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano or Montasio cheese grated
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare oven - Heat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Prepare and bake cheese - In a small mixing bowl, toss grated Montasio or Parmesan, rosemary, and black pepper. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture onto the baking sheet and use the back of the spoon to gently form flat circles. Repeat until all of the cheese is used. Bake on the middle rack for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese turns golden. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cheese cool. The cheese crisps will harden and become crispy once they cool.½ cup Parmigiano-Reggiano or Montasio cheese, 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
Notes
Top Tips
- Make sure the parmesan crisp cheese mixture is added to the parchment paper in even compact circles so the crisps stay together when baked.
- Use freshly grated cheese so the cheese melts and adheres to itself. The best grated cheese is grated in strands. Do not use the parmesan in the green can.
