Parmesan Crisps with Thyme and Sea Salt
One of the most elegant (and easy!) appetizers you’ll ever have the pleasure of meeting. These delicious Italian-inspired crisps pair wonderfully with cocktails, and are fabulous on salads or as soup toppers or eaten as chips with you favorite Italian sub!

Total Time:
Ingredients:
| 4 ounces | - piece of parmesan reggiano cheese without the rind |
| 1 tablespoon | all-purpose flour |
| 2 teaspoons | minced fresh thyme leaves - reserve some for garnish |
| 1/2 teaspoon | flaky sea salt i love maldon |
| 1/2 teaspoon | freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
Grate the Parmesan using a medium size grater.
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 2-1/2 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.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 8 to 10 minutes, until medium golden brown.
Cool on the pans for 5 minutes, loosen with a metal spatula, then cool completely on a baking rack. Serve at room temperature.
I like to garnish with a few more fresh thyme leaves before serving.
Recipe 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.
