Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded Parmesan and cheddar cheeses until evenly combined.

  3. 3

    Arrange small mounds (about 1 tablespoon each) of the cheese mixture on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each to allow for spreading.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle each mound evenly with chopped fresh rosemary and a light dusting of black pepper.

  5. 5

    Bake for 7–9 minutes, watching closely, until the edges turn golden and the crisps are bubbling but not burnt.

  6. 6

    Let the crisps cool completely on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to allow them to firm up and become crisp before serving.
