A great way to use up any leftover parmesan easily, this salty snack goes exceptionally well with balsamic syrup. You can get balsamic syrup (or cream) in any major supermarkets now. Or you can try making your own by simply reducing normal balsamic vinegar with sugar and honey to a thickened syrup.
Ingredients :
• 200 g wedge fresh parmesan (parmigianno reggiano or grana padano)
• 1 saucer balsamic syrup
Method :
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. With a fine grater, grate the cheese until the whole wedge is used up.
3. On a baking tray lined with silicon (or baking) paper, carefully flatten a good pinch of grated cheese to a circular shape.
4. Bake in the oven for 6-7 minutes until the cheese starts to turn slightly brown.
5. Remove from heat and carefully lift them out from the paper (you can opt to lift them out while hot and press them against overturned cups. They will crisp up once cooled).
6. Serve the parmesan crisps with the balsamic syrup.
