Parmesan Crisps with Thyme and Sea Salt

Parmesan Crisps with Thyme and Sea Salt are thin, crispy cheese wafers made from grated Parmesan combined with flour and fresh thyme. Baked until lightly golden, they are finished with flaky sea salt and freshly ground pepper for a savory snack or garnish with subtle herbal notes and a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients

  • 4- ounce Parmesan Cheese without the rind, piece, Reggiano
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons thyme leaves minced fresh, reserve some for garnish
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt I love Maldon, flaky
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the Parmesan using a medium size grater.
  3. Combine the Parmesan, flour and thyme in a bowl and mix well. With a measuring spoon, spoon level tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared sheet pans, spreading each round into a 2-½ inch disk. Toss the mixture each time and scoop from the bottom of the bowl to be sure you get some flour in each spoonful. Sprinkle each little disk with a pinch of the flaky sea salt and a grind of black pepper.
  4. Bake in the middle of the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until medium golden brown.
  5. Cool on the pans for 5 minutes, loosen with a metal spatula, then cool completely on a baking rack. Serve at room temperature.
  6. I like to garnish with a few more fresh thyme leaves before serving.

Notes

  • Use finely grated Parmesan cheese without rind for even melting and texture.
  • Flaky sea salt like Maldon enhances the flavor as a finishing touch but is not intended for daily use.
  • Rub sea salt between fingers to spread it evenly and maximize flavor when sprinkling on the crisps.
  • Let crisps cool completely on a rack to maintain their crisp texture before serving.
