In our home we love all types of food. We are fortunate enough to live in an area where international foods are abundant. A lot of my recipes have an Italian theme, because I am married to a wonderful Italian man who, of course, loves Italian food, but he also loves every type of food available! Enjoy!

Lacy Parmesan Crisps
Lacy Parmesan Crisps are known as "frico" in Italy & are simply spoonfuls of grated cheese that are baked and cooled. I cooked these on a cookie sheet coated with aluminum foil & they did not stick. However, I used parmesan cheese that was already grated and I believe it was too finely grated. It would be better to use freshly grated parmesan and grate it very coarsely. Suffice to say, that this one was not a hit today, but that was my fault. The recipe below is for 24 crisps.
1. Preheat oven to 375F. Line large cookie sheet with foil. Drop level tablespoons of Parmesan 3 inches apart onto cookie sheet; spread to form 2 inch rounds.
2. Bake until edges just begin to colour, about 6 minutes. Transfer crisps, still on foil, to wire rack to cool for 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
