Yield Makes 2 dozen crisps

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano, freshly grated
Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage or thyme (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, toss cheese with cayenne and herbs. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. Spoon heaping tablespoons cheese mixture onto baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Lightly press to flatten into 2-inch circles, using a round cutter as a guide, if desired.
  • Transfer to oven and bake until slightly browned, 6 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet to firm slightly.
