Parmesan Crisp
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Using a tablespoon measure, place cheese in mounds onto a nonstick silicone pad or greased parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Flatten out mounds with the back of a spoon, making sure mounds are at least 4 inches apart. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 5 to 6 minutes or until golden.
