CUMIN-PARMESAN CRISPS

Steps:

• Mix cheese and cumin in medium bowl. Spray medium nonstick skillet with nonstick spray; heat over medium heat. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons cheese mixture in 4-inch round lace-like pattern over bottom of skillet. Cook until cheese is melted, bubbling and golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Using thin metal spatula, carefully and gradually loosen edges of cheese crisp; gently transfer to paper towels to cool. Repeat with remaining cheese mixture, cooking 1 cheese crisp at a time and spraying skillet with nonstick spray before each crisp is cooked. Cool. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.) Serve at room temperature.

CUMIN TORTILLA CRISPS

Steps:

• Arrange the tortilla strips in one layer on 2 jelly-roll pans, cover them with a kitchen towel, and let them stand for 1 hour. In a small bowl stir together the oil, the cumin, and salt and pepper to taste, drizzle the mixture over the strips, and toss the strips to coat them with it. Bake the strips in a preheated 425°F. oven, shaking the pans occasionally and switching the pans once, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp. Transfer the crisps to paper towels to drain and sprinkle them with the salt. The tortilla crisps may be made 1 day in advance and kept in an airtight container.
