Anything with the word 'cheese' in the title, will usually get my attention when it comes to recipes! And when I saw that this recipe only contained 3 ingredients, I was even MORE interested! I first spotted this recipe on a recipe sharing site called RecipeNewZ. It's my new favorite hangout to stalk recipes! That site is like one big link party all day long! I love it! These easy to make cheese crisps were posted on a food blog called Dr. Ola's Kitchen. I wanted to make them the same way Dr. Ola did, but I didn't have the same cheeses she used. So I did some experimenting and tried it with mozzarella and romano. Those are the cheese crisps on the right side of my photo above. They were a little too salty for my taste. Then I tried the recipe with mozzarella and sharp cheddar...much better! I used fresh parsley instead of thyme. This was very good. The parsley freshened up the taste of the cheeses. This was perfect with a glass of red wine! But I like Dr. Ola's idea of a dip. She used a yogurt dip, but I think I'll try a garlicky marinara sauce next time! I say 'next time' because we ate these so fast that I didn't get a chance to try them with a dip!Here is how I made these...INGREDIENTS:
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 tbls. chopped fresh parsley
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 430 degrees.
Mix together all the ingredients.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Drop the mixture by the tablespoon full onto the parchment lined cookie sheet, leaving room between each.
Bake for 6 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Then blot on paper towels and serve warm or room temperature.

These cheese crisps taste just like the cheese that you find at the bottom of a delivery pizza box! You know, those pieces that ooze off the side of the pizza and get stuck to the cardboard box!
