Looking for the Recipe for Lacy Cheese Rounds from MORE Stoneware Sensations?

[straitfan]

I'm doing food for my niece's wedding reception in a few weeks and someone suggested Lacy Cheese Rounds from MORE Stoneware Sensations (I was embarrassed I didn't even know there was such a book!) Can anyone share the recipe? TIA!

Don't have that cookbook, but assume that these would be similar.

When cheese begins to melt and surface turns light yellow, remove from heat. Starting at edge, gently peel cheese disk away from pan using Classic Scraper. Cool completely.
Repeat with remaining cheese. Break crisps into pieces and serve over salads, pasta dishes or soups.

Not quite....what she described to me was cutting squares off of a block of cheese, laying them on a stone, baking for a while and then garnishing with ranch dip or guac. in the EAD. i may just have to experiment!

Lacy cheese would be made by grating the cheese into a mound on your bar pan and baking until they're crisp. Experiment.

That's it! I was beginning to think I was crazy b/c I was 99 3/4% sure that there was no grating involved! (which is why I thought I could make a large quantity of them!) Thanks so much! I really appreciate everyone's willingness to help me out. That's what I LOVE about this board.

there is a video available on facebook - Mexican Cheese Crisps w/ Avacado.

Actually - the recipe for the old lacy cheese rounds used grated cheese. But that was using parmesan or romano cheese.

The new recipe, using a cheddar or mont. jack cheese, is using sliced cheese.


But the instructions for baking are pretty much the same.
