Parmesan Rounds Recipes

PARMESAN ROUNDS

Steps:

• Using a round cookie cutter, make four 1 1/2" circles per slice of bread.
• Butter each slice on one side.
• Broil, turning once until lightly toasted.
• In a small bowl combine the remainder of ingredients until smoothly blended.
• Spread 1 tsp on the buttered side of each "toast".
• May be frozen in an airtight container at this point - do not thaw before broiling.
• Broil 4" from heat for 3-5 minutes or until golden brown.
• Serve hot.

PARMESAN CRISPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Pour a heaping tablespoon of Parmesan onto a silicone or parchment lined baking sheet and lightly pat down. A silicone baking sheet is highly recommended. Repeat with the remaining cheese, spacing the spoonfuls about a 1/2 inch apart.
• Bake for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden and crisp. Cool.

PARMESAN CHEESE ROUNDS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to 425 degrees F.
• With a 2 1/8-inch cookie cutter, cut 2 rounds out of each slice of bread. Arrange the rounds on a baking sheet and place 5 inches from the heat source. Toast the bread on one side until they are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Using a whisk, mix together the mayonnaise and Parmesan in a small bowl. Remove the bread from the oven and turn the rounds over to the untoasted sides. Spread each with a thin layer of mustard. Put 1 onion slice on top and cover with about 1 teaspoon of the mayonnaise mixture, spreading the mixture across the onion and bread.
• Broil until golden, about 1 minute. Never take your eyes off these; the time varies with different ovens. Work in batches of 24 rounds. Serve one batch hot while the next is cooking.

PARMESAN-ONION APPETIZER ROUNDS

Steps:

• Heat broiler.
• Mix mayo, Parmesan and onions until well blended.
• Spread onto crackers; place on baking sheet.
• Broil, 6 inches from heat, 2 to 3 min. or until mayo mixture is bubbly and golden brown. Serve warm.

PARMESAN POTATO ROUNDS

Steps:

• Pour butter into a 15-1/2-in. x 10-1/2-in. x 1-in. baking pan. In a plastic bag, combine flour, cheese, salt and pepper. Shake a few potato slices at a time in the bag to coat with the flour mixture. Place potatoes in a single layer over the butter. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes. Turn slices and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Bake 30 minutes more or until tender.
