Ingredients

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

Directions

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.

Mini cups ...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this recipe. I made mini cups by flipping over a mini muffin pan and shaping the still warm crisps over them and let... them cool. I made a tomatoe salad with quartered cherry tomatoes, finely chopped basil, and olive oil and spooned into cups. Great appetizers ... DEE-lish!!Read more

Make ahead?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Has anyone made a bunch in advance and stored? If so, how long would you say they'll last and what is the best way to store?

A big hit!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe for my in-laws, and it was a big hit. We formed the crisps into little cups and filled with a mixture of... diced tomatoes and cucumbers. We originally followed the instructions from the Good Eats show (375 for 10 minutes), but the end result was too crisp to form into cups, so we reduced the baking time to about 7 minutes. Next time, I'll follow this recipe and bake at 300 degrees.Read more

Discrepancy in recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe does not reflect the episode instructions. On the episode, Alton tells you to use a 375 degree oven and cook for... 10 minutes. That may be why some of you had a chewy end product.Read more

Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made these with real Parmesano Reggiano and used a ribbon grater. Baked at 375 for about 8 minutes, until the crisps are... just turning slightly golden. Cooled completely and ate as a snack. Really good and I will be using them in salads instead of croutons. A wonderful and easy recipe! Read more
