Parmesan Tacos
  1. Heat oven to 350 ° F.
  2. For each crisp: place 1 to 2 Tbsp of shredded cheese into a ring mold set over parchment paper on a non stick baking sheet. Repeat for each round. Bake in oven for 6-8 minutes until the cheese begins to turn a rich golden brown. Serve immediately or store in an air tight container.
