Parmesan Crisps - One Ingredient

The first picture below is done with putting the parmesan into a muffin tin and covering the bottom of the pan. 

The second picture below was done with little mounds of parmesan on a baking sheet. 

I MUCH prefer the baking sheet method as they are thinner and have a nice lacy pattern. I also found the crisps from the muffin tin to be too thick and chewy.

Muffin tins - too thick and chewy


Ingredients
  • ½ cup finely shredded parmesan cheese
Steps
  1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF
  2. LIne baking sheet with parchment
  3. Place a small mount of finely shredded parmesan cheese (evenly spaced) on a lined baking sheet
  4. Once the oven has preheated, add the baking sheet to the oven
  5. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly, melted, and brown. In tests, 5 minutes was the sweet spot.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the parmesan crisps to cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes, or until they are no longer pliable.
  7. Line a plate or tray with 2 to 3 layers of paper towel, and gently transfer the parmesan crisps to the lined plate to drain.
  8. Once the parmesan crisps are completely cooled and drained they are ready to serve and enjoy

Deviled Eggs

I make my deviled eggs by covering the bottom of my instant pot with water, adding the trivet and eggs and cooking on high on the egg setting for 6 minutes. Then I submerge in iced water and let chill for 5 minutes before peeling. It makes it super easy to make up these delicious deviled eggs anytime!



Ingredients
  • 8 large hard boiled eggs peeled
  • 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 Tbsp dijon or yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar apple cider is a good substitute
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ Tbsp minced fresh dill optional
  • pinch regular or smoked paprika
Steps
  1. Slice the hard boiled eggs in half, lengthwise, into oval shapes. Remove yolks and add to a bowl or food processor. We find the end of a small spoon works well for removing the yolks.
  2. Puree, grate, or mash the yolks. Add mayonnaise, dijon mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper, and dill, if using. Stir well to combine. Mixture should be creamy, but not runny.
  3. Add egg yolk filling to piping bag fitted with a piping tip, or a resealable plastic bag. If using the plastic bag, snip a small corner off of the bag. Pipe filling into the hollow part of the egg whites. Alternately, a spoon can be used to dollop the filling in.
