Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 400 F (200 C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2

Drop heaping tablespoon-sized mounds of 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese onto the parchment, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently press each mound into a thin circle.
3

Sprinkle 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper lightly over each round.

Bake for 6 to 8 minutes until golden and the edges are lightly browned.

Let cool on the pan for 2 minutes - they will crisp up as they cool. Carefully peel off the parchment and serve.

Questions

Can I make Cheese Crisp Crackers dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free appetizer collection instead.

How long does Cheese Crisp Crackers keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Reheat uncovered in a 400 F oven (or an air fryer) for a few minutes to bring the crust back; the microwave softens it.

Can I halve or double Cheese Crisp Crackers?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, split it across two pans and rotate them halfway; one crowded pan bakes unevenly.
