Cakes & Bakes: Parmesan crisps

Home-made parmesan crisps | H is for Home

We have builders working on our house at the moment. The water, gas and electricity are regularly being turned off and back on as they extend & update our central heating system. Despite the upheaval, I wanted to keep up with our weekly recipe post. I thought Parmesan crisps would be a good option as they’re ultra-quick to prep and make.

They are basically just grated and grilled/baked Parmesan. I picked a few sprigs of herbs from the garden; rosemary, thyme and oregano – Mediterranean flavours match perfectly with an Italian cheese. I also cracked a handful of mixed peppercorns with a pestle & mortar to sprinkle over the tops.

You can either mix the herbs or, do what I did, sprinkle them separately so you have different flavoured crisps. They’re perfect on a cheeseboard, with antipasti or dunked in baba ganoush, hummus or a sun-dried tomato dip.

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC/ºF/Gas mark or turn a grill on to medium
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  3. Make piles of about a tablespoon of grated Parmesan - leaving lots of space between each as they will spread out (I could fit 5 on a large baking sheet)
  4. Sprinkle each pile with the herbs and pepper
  5. Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes (or under the grill for 3 minutes) until the cheese has melted and turned golden brown
  6. Allow to cool on the sheet for a minute, lift them off using a spatula and put them on a wire rack to cool completely
  7. Repeat from #3 until all the grated cheese has been used
Notes
  1. Instead of Parmesan (which contains animal rennet), most large supermarkets stock vegetarian hard cheese alternatives

Husman’s finds a home!

Vintage Husman's Potato Chips tin | H is for Home

We bought this extra large Husman’s potato chips tin at Thursday’s flea market. It’s made the long journey from Cincinnati, Ohio to Todmorden, West Yorkshire!

The fabulous colours caught our eye from a long way off.

As we got closer, we realised that it was a vintage tin with fabulous lettering and chirpy chip boy mascot! We reckon that it dates from the late 1960s era.

We love these branded wooden crates and tins. They’re very attractive and make for great up-cycled storage. And they also work really well as bedside or side tables.

It’s perfect sitting alongside a favourite chair – a place for books, reading glasses, a vase of flowers, glass of wine or hot cuppa. We’ve become very fond of it in a short space of time. We don’t know how it got to our little Pennine town from Cincinatti, but we’re glad it did!
