Parmesan Crisps
- 1/4 cups Olive Oil
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 loaf Crusty Bread (I Use Ciabatta)
- 1/2 cups Parmesan Cheese ( You Want A Block Of Cheese, About 1/2 C Worth, Cut In Chunks)
- 2 sprigs Fresh Rosemary (about 1 Tblsp. Dry)
- In a small saute pan over medium high heat, add olive oil.
- Peel and crush garlic, and add to oil when the oil is warm.
- Allow garlic to sizzle and warm up, but do not cook it too thoroughly.
- The object is to infuse the garlic taste into the oil.
- When the garlic begins to sizzle, turn off the heat.
- Set cooked garlic aside.
- Slice bread in 1/4 1/2 inch slices and arrange on a baking sheet.
- Brush with oil from saute pan.
- In a food processor, put parmesan cheese, warm garlic from the pan, and the rosemary leaves (removed from the sprigs).
- Pulse until it resembles large crumbs...you do not want a fine puree, but instead combine all three into a cornmeal consistency.
- Cook bread slices under a broiler on low until just beginning to turn golden.
- Remove from broiler and top with cheese mixture.
- Do not heap the cheese mixture on top, or the center of the bread will be chewy instead of crispy.
- Return to broiler until cheese has melted and the bread is golden.
- Cool on a rack.
- Serve with your favorite dip.
