This Italian-style appetizer is the perfect combination of salty and sweet. My kids gobble up the crisps even without the fruity dipping sauce! Ingredients:
3 slices pancetta or bacon, finely chopped |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1-1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese |
1 cup ricotta cheese |
1/2 cup apricot preserves |
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil |
Directions:
1. In a small skillet, cook pancetta in oil over medium heat until crisp. Drain on paper towels.
2. Drop Parmesan cheese by tablespoonfuls onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets about 1 in. apart. Sprinkle with pancetta. Bake at 400° for 5-6 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Remove from pans.
3. Combine ricotta cheese and preserves; sprinkle with basil. Serve with crisps. Yield: 2 dozen (1-1/2 cups dip).
