  1. 1 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat, which can be found at most fine kitchen shops. Sprinkle about 2 teaspoons of the cheese in one corner of the Silpat. Use your fingers to spread the cheese into a 2-inch circle. Repeat with the remaining cheese; you should have about 12 rounds.
  2. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown. Use a small spatula to transfer them to paper towels. They will be soft when they are removed but will stiffen as they cool.
Make Ahead Store the crisps in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Serve With Macaroni and Cheese: Sweet Butter Braised Maine Lobster with Creamy Lobster Broth and Orzo Enriched with Mascarpone Cheese.
