In Italy, these delicate and delectable treats are called frico. They are usually prepared only with Parmesan cheese, but we love the combination of cheeses used in our version.

Ingredients:

1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon all-purpose fl our
½ teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
Pinch cayenne

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick spray.

Stir together all ingredients in small bowl. Drop cheese mixture by tablespoonfuls, at least 2 inches apart, onto prepared baking sheets. Bake crisps until cheese is melted and edges are lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

Let crisps cool 1 minute on baking sheets. With pancake spatula, transfer crisps to double thickness of paper towels and let cool completely. Crisps can be stored in airtight container up to 2 days at room temperature.
