Parmesan Crisps with Thyme and Sea Salt

One of the most elegant (and easy!) Italian-inspired appetizers you'll ever have the pleasure of meeting. A delicious little bite to go with cocktails, on salads or as a soup topping.

Ingredients

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

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

  • * I use a grater like this.** Maldon sea salt is fantastic. It's a little expensive (as salt goes) but it's used as a finishing salt. Not a salt for every day use. It's delicious as a finishing touch to salads, sandwiches, main dishes etc. Take a pinch of it with your fingers and rub your fingers together as you sprinkle it over the food to bring out the wonderful flavor.
