Ingredients

Parmesan - 4 oz

All-purpose flour - 1 tbl

Thyme - 1 tbl

Prep

Parmesan - remove rind

Thyme - mince

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.

Grate the Parmesan, using the large grating side of a box grater, as you might use to grate carrots. Combine the Parmesan, flour, thyme, 12 tsp salt and 12 tsp pepper in a bowl and mix well. With a mesauring spoon, spoon level tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared sheet pans, spreading each round into a 3-inch disk. Toss the mixture each time and scoop from the bottom of the bowl to be sure you get some flour in each spoonful. Bake in the middle of the oven for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.

Cool on the pans for 5 minutes, loosen with a metal spatula, then cool completely on a baking rack. Serve at room temperature.
