Parmesan Crisps

(plain on the left, with bacon on the right)

Ingredients:

1 (4.25 oz) tub of shredded parmesan cheese

Directions:

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray the foil with vegetable oil spray. Place mounds of about 2 teaspoons each of the cheese on the baking sheet  about 1 inch apart (think ‘making small cookies’). You may need to bake in two batches depending on the size of your baking sheet. Bake for 6-7 minutes until the edges are lightly golden brown, but not dark because they will turn bitter if too dark. Cool and pile on a plate for easy snacking.

Get creative on me: You can go absolutely wild with seasonings here—you can put some freshly cracked black pepper on the top, some cayenne for heat, some garlic salt, whatever! Even better, add 2 slices of crisply cooked bacon, crumbled, to the cheese. Awesome.
