Parmesan Crisps at Mama Melrose?

[Janice]

Hello

On our recent trip to WDW - my friend and I had a meal in Mama Melrose in MGM Studios. We had the most delicious Oak Grilled Chicken with Marsala Sauce, Mash Potatoes with Marscapone Cheese and Parmesan Crisps. Has anyone any idea how the Parmesan Crisps are made? It was flat, about the size of the palm of your hand and just simply wonderful.

I would appreciate it if anyone had any ideas on this

Thanks

This isn't from Mama's but I'm sure it is what your are looking for.

Actually I'm making these for a party on Saturday, and may do a sundried tomato dip.

Lacy Parmesan Crisps (Frico)

Called "Frico" from the Friuli region of Italy, these delicious wafers are simply spoonfuls of grated cheese that are baked and cooled. Great served with cocktails or wine, or as a garnish with main courses or salads.

8 ounces freshly grated Parmesan-Reggiano cheese*
* Use a stainless-steel grater, preferably one with small perforations or slits of half-moon-like cutting edges.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place oven rack in the middle of the oven. Line a lightly greased baking sheet with parchment paper or use a Silpat.
Spoon level tablespoon-size mounds 4-inches apart on baking sheet; spread mounds gently into 3 1/2-inch long ovals. Bake approximately 6 to 8 minutes or until cheese is melted and any bubbles that form turn into a crunchy golden crust (do not brown or the cheese will be bitter). Remove from oven and cool crisps completely on baking sheet. Remove crisps carefully with metal spatula.
NOTE: Can be made 2 days in advance. Store between layers of wax paper in an air-tight container at room temperature.
VARIATIONS:
Rosemary Parmasen Crisps - Add 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves to the grated parmesan cheese.
Cumin Parmesan Crisps - Add 1 teaspoon cumin see or fennel seeds, finely crushed or ground in spice grinder..

PARMESAN BASKETS:
Fill a 2 1/3-inch ring mold with 1 tablespoons of grated cheese. Place 1-inch apart on baking sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and any bubbles that form turn into a crunchy golden crust (do not brown or the cheese will be bitter). Remove from oven, let cool about 30 seconds. Gently remove with a spatula and press each of these rounds over an upturned egg carton cup to form tulip shapes: remove when cool and set up. To make bigger cups, form them over an upside-down custard cup, drinking glass, or coffee cup.

PARMESAN CONES:
Use an ice cream cone for molding a cone shape.

dt - Thank You so very much.

This is just what I was looking for - and the cones sound worth a try too.

I hope to have a go at the weekend and will certainly try to let you know how they turned out and what everyone thought of them.

Again - thank you

You can also fry them in a non-stick frying pan. Sprinkle shredded cheese (I have used parmesan & cheddar). Turn them when they bubble around the edges and cook a few minutes more.

This is a great snack for those of us trying not to eat many carbs!
