These delicious bites couldn't be easier to make, and an added bonus is that they keep well, too. You can buy good quality, already grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or make your own in the food processor (cut the cheese into smaller chunks), but don't even think of getting one of those green canisters!

Cooks' Notes:

•Crisps keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    1 hour

  • Yield

    Makes 48 servings

Ingredients

1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (4 ounces)
2 tablespoons finely chopped unsalted pistachios

Special Equipment

a large nonstick baking sheet or nonstick baking liner such as silpat (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle.

    Step 2

    Place silpat on a large baking sheet, or if not using a silpat or nonstick baking sheet, line a large baking sheet with parchment. Put rounded teaspoons of cheese 2 inches apart on baking sheets and spread each into a 1 1/2 inch circle.

    Step 3

    Sprinkle each round lightly with chopped pistachios (about 1/8 teaspoon for each) and bake until just golden, 6 to 8 minutes.

    Step 4

    Let crisps cool on sheet 1 minute then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Bake more crisps in same manner on cooled sheet, wiping nonstick or silpat in between batches (if using), or replacing parchment with each new batch.
