I'm going through some favorite recipes as I work on menus for the holidays. I thought one night I might do appetizers and then a soup dinner when my stepdaughter is visiting for a week. I thought that would be fun, and something a little different than the usual dinners. I have three favorite appetizers, and this one is the first. (I'll share the other two tomorrow.)
MONTEREY CHEESE CRISPS
(Yield: 36 to 42 crisps)
These are very lacy and delicate looking, and quite delicious! Your family and guests will think you spent hours and hours preparing them.
1 pound Monterey Jack cheese, softened (use ONLY Monterey Jack cheese)
Cayenne pepper or chili powder
~ Cut cheese into 1/4-inch thick slices, then cut slices into circles, using a
1-1/2 inch round cookie cutter.
~ Place cheese rounds 3 inches apart on a non-stick baking sheet (cheese will spread while baking). Sprinkle with cayenne or chili powder.
~ Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
Do not overbake!
~ Remove crisps with a spatula and cool on paper towels. Store in airtight
containers.

Oh, Joanne, these sound wonderful! I know that my favorite part of pizza or omlets is the cheese that comes out and gets cooked. Thanks for sharing!!
Those sound yummy!!! And what a fun idea for dinners :)
They sound lovely! I love a good cheese crisp. We've made them with Parmeggiano cheese. They're yummy!
Love,
Julie
