Ingredients
- 1 pound Asiago cheese grated
- 6 fresh sage leaves finely minced

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- On a baking sheet lined with parchment, place six tablespoon sized mounds of cheese spaced evenly across the pan.
- Sprinkle with minced sage and chopped pine nuts.
- Bake until golden – about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Working quickly while the crisps are still warm and pliable, remove each with a spatula and drape around a rolling pin to cool slightly.
- Move to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
- Fresh herbs result in the best flavor, but you can use dried in a pinch. If using dried, use about half the amount called for in the recipe.
- Pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that can affect the texture. For best results, grate your own cheese from a block.
- Store any leftover crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Reheat and re-crisp in a 300°F (150°C) oven for a few minutes. Freezing is not recommended as it can affect the texture.
