Parmesan Crisp
2 Sheets of Puff Pastry
Butter
Parmesan Cheese
But each sheet of pastry into 6 sections, place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Poke the pastry with a fork so it does not puff too much while baking. Spread the top of each piece of pastry with butter and sprinkle with the cheese. Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.
