Lacy Cheddar Crisps

Perfect Recipes for Having People over – Cookbook

Makes about 2 doz. Page 118




Ingredients

1 ½ cups (6 ounces) packaged shredded sharp cheddar cheese




Directions

1. Adjust oven racks to low middle positions and heat oven to 425 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Spoon about 1 tablespoon cheese onto sheet, then spread into a round with your fingertips so that cheese is more or less in single layer. Repeat with remaining cheese, keeping cheese disks about 1 inch or so apart. (You should get about 12 wafers on a large baking sheet.)

3. Bake until crisps stop bubbling, 9 to 10 minutes, switching sheets after 5 minutes if they appear to be cooking unevenly. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.




Notes These lacy crisps are simple but exceptional, with just enough substance to curb your but not kill your appetite. They are also can be made ahead, and they don’t need to be passed, once they have been set out, they disappear.
Because the shredded cheddar cheese available in packages is less moist and oily than freshly grated, it is preferable for this recipe.

Mozzarella Tomato Skewers

Bridget Jones – Party Food

Servings 10-12 Page 110



Ingredients

24 slices white country bread, each about ½ inch thick
6 tablespoons olive oil
9 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into ¼ inch slices
6 ripe plum tomatoes, cut into ¼ inch slices
1 cup fresh basil leaves, plus extra to garnish
Salt and pepper
4 tablespoons chopped fresh flat leaf parsley, to garnish



Directions


1. Preheat the oven to 220 F. Trim the crust from the bread and cut each slice into four equal squares. Arrange on baking sheets and brush with half the olive oil. Bake for 3-5 minutes until the squares are a pale golden color.

2. Remove the bread squares from the oven and place them on a chopping board with the other ingredients.

3. Make 32 stacks, each starting with a square of bread, then slice of the mozzarella cheese topped with a slice of tomato and basil leaf. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then repeat, ending with a slice of bread. Push skewer through each stack and place on baking sheets. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and bake 10-15 minutes until the cheese begins to melt. Garnish with parsley.
