Notes

  • These are essentially just parmesan crisps, so any hard cheese you would enjoy would work here
  • Keep an eye on these as the process moves pretty quick
  • If you are watching these from the window of your oven, you will watch the following phases: melting, bubbling, frying, and when they look dry they are done.
  • While they come out slightly darker than the cheese bites in a bag, they are just as delicious.
  • If they come out with a little "crown" of cheese, don't worry, that is delicious too. It's great for sampling your work.
