Equipment

  • Parchment paper
  • Large baking sheet
  • Measuring Spoon
  • Box Grater
  • Wire cooling rack
  • Small Spatula

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups Parmesan Cheese Freshly Grated
  • 1 Tsp Fresh Thyme Minced
  • 1/2 Tsp Black Pepper Freshly Ground

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This high heat makes the cheese crisp. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Grate the Parmesan cheese into a small bowl. Use the medium holes on your grater. Freshly grated cheese melts much more evenly.
  • Place one tablespoon of cheese on the pan. Space them two inches apart from each other. They will spread out while they bake.
  • Lightly pat down the mounds of cheese. Make them into flat circles with your fingers. This helps them cook through the center.
  • Add a pinch of fresh thyme on top. Sprinkle a little black pepper over the cheese. Do not add any extra salt now.
  • Bake the crisps for five to six minutes. Watch the oven very closely during this time. They should be golden brown and bubbly.
  • Take the pan out of the hot oven. Let them cool on the pan for 2 minutes. They are too soft to move right away.
  • Transfer the crisps to a wire cooling rack. Use a spatula to lift them very gently. They will become hard and crunchy quickly.

Notes

  • Use high-quality cheese blocks.
  • Do not use the green can cheese.
  • Keep a close eye on the oven.
  • Cheese can burn in seconds.
  • Space the mounds very well.
  • They need room to melt out.
  • Let them cool completely.
  • They get crispier as they sit still.
