EASY PARMESAN CRISPS

I love making these Everything Parmesan Crisps as a low-carb snack, to feature to Caesar salad in situ of croutons, with soup, or an excellent addition to any charcuterie board as an appetizer.

They are very easy to form , the trick is using fresh grated parmesan cheese, pre-grated won’t always work. And since I’m hooked in to Everything Bagel Seasoning, like these Everything Flatbreads and these Air Fryer Eggs they're the right snack!

EASY PARMESAN CRISPS

Since Parmesan cheese has enough sodium on it’s own, using pre-made Everything Seasoning would make them too salty, so I made my very own (it’s so easy!). i actually think you’ll love them the maximum amount as we do!

Parmesan Crisps are easy to form . Shred the cheese with a box grater. Place a silpat or piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Then, add heaping tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese to the baking sheet, spreading them out slightly in order that they are a touch lacey. Confim there's enough space between all in order that they don’t melt together into one big clump. To season, partially bake, then add the seasoning in order that they stick the the cheese without burning, then put them back within the oven a couple of more minutes. This recipe makes 4 crisps, double or triple to form more for sharing.

4. Bake 3 minutes, until almost done.
5. Combine the sesame seeds, onion, garlic and poppy seeds in a small bowl.

Mozzarella Bites you'll make reception with just 10 minutes of active cooking time. Crispy on the surface, ooey-gooey on the within. 

GLUTEN-FREE MOZZARELLA BITES

Anyway, we’re going deeply savory today and you simply need a few inches of oil heated during a pot to form these hot and crispy, stretchy Mozzarella Bites.

Start by cutting 6 mozzarella cheese sticks into 6 equal pieces each. I cut all in half, then cut each half into thirds. By the way, I even have to inform you, Ben worked at Pizza Hut during college (true story) and said stuffed crust pizza is simply a daily ball of dough stretched super thin then the surface is rolled around cheese sticks. I feel cheated somehow right?

INGREDIENTS :

• 2 cups gluten-free bread crumbs
• gluten freevegetarian
• salt
• 6 mozzarella string cheese sticks, each cut into 6 bites
• 1/4 cup gluten-free flour
• 2 eggs
• 2 Tablespoons water
• marinara sauce

INSTRUCTIONS :

1. Add flour to one bowl, whisk together eggs and water in another bowl, then add bread crumbs to another bowl. Season bread crumbs with salt then stir to combine.
2. Working with 4 bites at a time, roll in the flour, tapping any excess off, then add to the egg mixture and use a fork to coat. Transfer bites to bread crumbs then use your fingers to coat each bite. Add bites back into the egg mixture then use a fork to coat, and then transfer back to the bread crumbs to create a double coating. Place bites onto a large plate then repeat with remaining cheese and refrigerate for 20 minutes or until breading is set.
3. Add enough oil to a small, heavy-bottomed pan to come 2” up the sides. Turn the heat to slightly above medium then heat until oil reaches 365 - 370 degrees. Fry bites in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, until golden brown, 30 seconds or so. Scoop bites onto a paper towel lined plate then sprinkle with salt and serve immediately with warmed marinara sauce.
