Parmesan Crisps
Total time: 15 minutes
Easy to make and a great way to use up the leftover bits of puff pastry. You could also make them sweet: brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar; serve for dessert with coffee. I have no idea how long they will keep...We eat them all!
Ingredients:
- puff pastry sheet, roughly 10 X 6 (25 X 15cm), 125gr, 4.4oz
- 1 tsp olive oil, 4.5gr, .16oz
- 3 tbs grated Parmesan cheese, 15gr, .5oz
Instructions:
- Cut a rectangle of puff pastry.
- Lightly drizzle 1 tsp olive oil over the pastry.
- Sprinkle Parmesan evenly over the top. Make a mental note (or mark it) of where the middle of the pastry is. Starting at the short ends, roll the puff pastry to the middle until the two rolls meet.
- Wrap in cling film and refrigerate until used. It's easiest to slice if chilled for an hour and can be made 2 days ahead.
- Remove from fridge and slice 1/4" thick (.6cm).
- Lay on nonstick baking sheet and bake, 400F (200C) for 8 - 12 minutes, until pastry is golden and cheese is a bit darker. Remove and serve immediately or allow to cool and store in airtight container.
Note: You could make sweet 'crisps' by brushing with melted butter and sprinkling with sugar and cinnamon
Note 2: My puff pastry comes in a circle. I normally use half for a starter and the other half for these. I leave it as a half circle, roll it up and slice the crisps as close to the 'round' end as reasonable.
