Steps:
- 4 big ones: Heat a 20cm good-quality non-stick frying pan. Scatter about 20g of the grated cheese over the base of the hot pan. Watch it melt (don't overcook or it will taste bitter) then sprinkle in a teaspoon of chopped chives and some black pepper. When the cheese is bubbly and golden, take the pan off the heat and cool for up to a minute, then the wafer can easily be lifted out with a palette knife. Repeat 3 times.
- 8 little ones: Heat the oven to fan 180C/conventional 200C/gas 6. Line a large baking sheet with non-stick silicone sheet or baking parchment. Sprinkle the grated parmesan in 8 neat rounds using the inside of a 5cm cutter as a guide. Sprinkle some chives and black pepper onto each round. Bake for 5 minutes until the cheese bubbles and turns golden. Lift each round onto a rolling pin, cool until crisp, then lift off.
- The wafers will keep in an airtight tin for up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with nonstick pad.
- Stir together cheese and flour in a bowl. Make 4 mounds (about 3 tablespoons each) about 5 inches apart on baking sheet and spread each mound to form a 4- to 5-inch round.
- Bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheet on a rack, then carefully transfer each wafer (they are very delicate) with a wide metal spatula to rack to cool completely.
- Stir cheese in bowl (to redistribute flour) and make 4 more wafers in same manner.
PARMESAN WAFERS- QUICK AND SIMPLE
A thin wafer made just from finely grated parmesan cheese baked in the oven. Wonderful as an elegant topper for your salads or entrees. As a bonus they are gluten free. Great to use instead of croutons. I have seen these in a magazine jazzed up with chilli flakes and very finely chopped walnuts- I haven't tried them this way yet

- If you want chewier wafers, use a lower temperature oven and bake for a longer amount of time.
- Be sure to use finely grated Parmesan cheese, as this will help the wafers to be smooth and consistent.
- If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
- To make sure the wafers are evenly cooked, rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time.
