Ingredients
3 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano
Freshly ground black pepper, smoked paprika, or cayenne, optional

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.

Grate cheese on the small hole side of a 4-sided box grater into a small bowl. 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.
Season with pepper, paprika, or cayenne, if desired. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 5 to 6
minutes or until golden.
