Parmesan crisps
"Grate some cheese and after three minutes in the oven, you have a beautiful appetizer for a glass of wine. The cheese melts into a lacy circle, and the fresh chives add color and flavor. Try other fresh herbs or freshly ground pepper for variety. I found this in the Chicago Sun-Times Food Section and was impressed with how well these turn out!"

How long do these stay crisp? Can they be made the day ahead? I know we will love these, but, I don't want to mess up and waste my good Parm. Does anyone know? Thank you.Â

My new addiction! so very good, I used both pepper and the chives, no butter, the parchment worked fine without it. Thank you very much! -
i love these! I make them with swiss sometimes also... really great for low-carb diets! instead of chives, I've added a little bbq seasoning and they taste like a bbq chip! -
I just love these with spinach dip. I could munch on them all night. BellaÂ
